Books and Bees

On Tuesday 26 October I talked about William Golding to the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution (as always, there, a keen, receptive, intelligent audience). Bee news is that when I looked at the weekend my little swarm colony had finished every scrap of the slab of honey I had given them a week back, so I gave them another (larger) slab. The milder weather today will, I hope, encourage the queen to go on laying a bit longer.
