The bee field of the last post had bees in it too. These were the ones that we were collecting. Normally you need to get bees in the dark, so they have all returned home before you close up the entrances and take them away. But these ones were in a very windy place (which you can't really tell by the bee dudes' hair styles) so the bees all came home early. Meant we got to load a lot early. We, means I sat in the ute.
And then a whole load of strapping is required to stop them all flying off down the motorway. Um...that would be the beehive boxes, not the bees - the bees are all locked in with special doors across their entrances and won't be released till they get to their new homes.
