Good-Bye Busy Little Bees

 
 Today we said good-bye to our swarm of bees, Ed the bee keeper took care of business,
 
First he sprayed them with a sugary liquid to stick them all together,
 
 
Then scooped them into a box (as you do, of course)
 
 
No more bees,

 
The whole process took 5 minutes! And cost R650!!
 
Oh well at lest they will be relocated to his farm where he farms honey, and is clearly passionate about these little creatures.

 
All in a days work!
 
Lotsa love xx

Lotsa Busy Little Bees

 
Oh My Word!!
 Walking through my beloved rose garden this afternoon, I happened upon a flurry of activity...
 



So I have phoned the bee-keeper and he will be coming on Friday to remove this swarm and re-locate them.
 
I'll keep you posted...
 
 
Lotsa love xx

A Not so Welcome Visitor

Ian is away again, so last night I was home alone... dun da dun dn daaahhh (^^,)

After putting the girls to bed I got up and made myself a cuppa. As I rounded the corner this is who I met...


Oh My Word!!!

I was so brave! I didn't even scream!! LOL I snapped this shot, and then asked Dear Lord Jesus to make him go away.
And you know what? He did. That critter slunk his way outta my house.

I did hear Jesus chuckling though... when I asked what was so funny, He simply said, "You know, My dear, you do have dominion over that snake!"

Ha ha, well I am happy to know that there snake is out in the wide open spaces, lets just hope that he made it down the driveway and far far away!!


Chat soon, sweet friends

Niqui xx
