Beesuit becomes boilersuit

Slipped guard

Having discovered that the mouse guard in the Star was not doing its job properly, I decided to repair it today. I had taken it off so that the bees could access their hive freely again (and just hope that no mouse decided to set up camp in the Star last night).

It was a beautiful, sunny day, but rather chill and there were only one or two bees flying round the Star. They might have got the message that winter is now definitely approaching and they need to sort out their stores.
Anyway, armed with various screws and a screwdriver, I went to the Star and repaired the mouse guard. Sounds rather grand that: it was basically a case of putting in a screw that would support the guard - and done. A bee did come to have a look and landed on my arm as I was twisting the screw in. I think she approved.
