Over the last few years, we’ve had two separate swarms of bees arrive at our house and another swarm just outside the shop in Clifden. Fortunately, we were able to rehome these beautiful insects and, throughout the year, rescue lone stragglers who got caught in the shop windows, needed a pick-me-up of sugar water, and were able to fly away happily, once placed in the flower bed outside. We’re also fascinated when we see the videos on social media showing how trained experts scoop up bees in their bare hands when moving them from one place to another after the Queen. One of our new decorations for spring had to be a bee. So please say a big hello to this little fella and give him the home he needs!
