Cloud of very small bees: Why?

[Newbeeneil]

They are very noisy too. thankfully not this far south but my daughter has them in Esher.... when there are several in a tree they can be very annoying.

As I recall you can shoot them under the general licences. Don't know what they taste like though!

Oooo, thanks, I didn’t know that! I wonder if this is the same one - Sudbury is about 18 miles away? -as I reported above, we used to hear one about ten years ago and assumed it was in captivity. I must go and knock on the door of the (somewhat reclusive) bird-breeder.
