Another Step for Mankind

Another Step for Mankind
I do not know why Roy felt the sudden urge to spontaneously preform a rendition of "Walk like an Egyptian" but it amused both Robert and myself.

It seemed like the Apollo landing on the moon and the Barningham Bees have a seriously psychopathic demeanor......nasty little fuckers if truth be known, however I am strangely attached to them despite the need for three grown men to open their hive. Smoke and run is the usual routine for they're an exceedingly aggressive colony.

On Roy's previous visit he was chased the length of the nursery by a duo of particularly persistent and decidedly pissed off bees only to find refuge by hiding in our van and locking the doors, even then they got him on the neck. Cheap aftershave really annoys their sensibilities.
