Lakin Farm

Today we had to strip part of the roof in preparation for the new dormer windows. This is a picture of me waving at passers by.

In part of the roof we have a large bees nest. Some bees are even getting into one of the bedrooms, and because they can’t find their way out again, we have our very own a bee graveyard. One good thing is the room has a lovely honey aroma about it.

All was going well until we started hammering nails in. This upset the bees and they sent out the ‘lads’ (or is it ‘ladettes’?) to see what the heck was going on.

We knew they meant business as they flew directly into us. Very scary, but very funny at the same time. I threw caution to the wind and ran head first down the roof to the scaffold and straight down the ladder to safety.

The ‘lads’ will be back at the hive now, laughing with their mates about how soft humans are.
