... is worth a load of hay." [*]
A swarm was collected from Gradidge Lane this morning, destined for a local garden.
[*] A (17C?) proverbial beekeepers' rhyme recounts the value of a swarm of bees at different times of the year:
A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June, is worth a silver spoon;
But a swarm of bees in July - is not worth a fly!
