Bee care with SAKs
on: June 16, 2016, 08:33:36 PM
I wonder if we sometime forget how versatile the whole SAK and pouch combination can be in a crisis.

Took a trip yesterday to Layer Marney tower. Nice Tudor brickwork and marvellous views once you've climbed the spiral staircase. Right at the top in one of the stairwell windows was a very angry honey bee bashing against the glass with perseverance. That wasn't going to end well for her. Now, I happen to like bees. Try as I might with the guide leaflet she wasn't going to be put off and kept buzzing straight back to the window. I've often found a glass is a handy way to capture and release determined bees in this sort of situation but I didn't have anything to hand. Until I remembered my trusty Black Explorer on my belt. I took that out, put it in my pocket, and slipped my Vic pouch off to use as a safe receptacle with the leaflet over the end. A couple of attempts later and she was inside. At the door I lifted the leaflet off and the bee was on her way.

It's not just a SAK that's useful in a small scale crisis !  :D

That pouch looks awful big for an explorer. But also quite nice.

Funny that, now you mention it. The pouch is just the standard 2-4 layer job but it must be perspective.

One day I'll try keeping some. I have a friend who does and she really loves it. She's two hives and the colonies each have very different characters. Mind you I love honey too. Which reminds me I must make some Roman Army bread sometime, I've not done that for a while.

I wonder if we sometime forget how versatile the whole SAK and pouch combination can be in a crisis.

Took a trip yesterday to Layer Marney tower. Nice Tudor brickwork and marvellous views once you've climbed the spiral staircase. Right at the top in one of the stairwell windows was a very angry honey bee bashing against the glass with perseverance. That wasn't going to end well for her. Now, I happen to like bees. Try as I might with the guide leaflet she wasn't going to be put off and kept buzzing straight back to the window. I've often found a glass is a handy way to capture and release determined bees in this sort of situation but I didn't have anything to hand. Until I remembered my trusty Black Explorer on my belt. I took that out, put it in my pocket, and slipped my Vic pouch off to use as a safe receptacle with the leaflet over the end. A couple of attempts later and she was inside. At the door I lifted the leaflet off and the bee was on her way.

It's not just a SAK that's useful in a small scale crisis !  :D

I'll bump this with another bee rescue tale. It's rained a lot here and this afternoon I spotted a very bumble bee on my drive as I went out for a walk. I've seen them before like this and they're usually quite chilled and in need of energy. He sort of waved a leg at me when I tried to move him with the screwdriver/bottle opener on my Black Darth Spartan but eventually he clambered onto the flat of it and took a ride to a nearby flower where he climbed off. Fingers crossed he made it.
