Damn it!!
Just a few minutes ago a swarm of bees flew over the house. It was a large swarm. It was like a big black cloud, moving at a tremendous speed and buzzing like mad. We looked in the garden, alerted the neighbours, ran up the road (twice) and approached various strangers with what must have seemed a very odd question, "have you by any chance seen a swarm of bees just go by?"
If we had caught them, they could have become our fourth colony, or been united with the third one to make it stronger. There was always the chance that they had a disease, but that's a risk you take when a swarm comes along.
I got myself all excited and now I feel...mopey, deflated, and bereaved.
Alas!
