Be-suited
I dressed up for the occasion and brought home the sweet prize. The new hive, collected as a swarm from a friend's place late last year, is thriving and proving to be the friendliest I've ever had, despite their darkness. I didn't need the protective gear at all, though I'll still wear it, just in case there's a rogue bee. The honey's a sweet as any I've tasted.

Could bee.
Nasty little fly, from a bee-keeper's point of view. I'm surprised though, that this wasn't spotted long ago. I'll read more and get back to this thread. Thanks for the heads-up.
