On the Editor's Bench

摘要

Last month I was visiting my brother, and he showed me a bee swarm that had made itself comfortable in a bush at the end of his garden. My experience of honeybees is that they are pretty docile if you don't do anything to upset them, and he'd not had any problems with hanging out the washing nearthem. I was able to get close enough to snap a picture of the swarm on my phone. It brought back long-forgotten memories of Windy Miller smoking and catching a swarm in a particularly exciting episode of Camberwick Green. It seems the original transmission date was 1966, although as an avid fan I'm sure I saw it a few times!
