There I was taking pictures of the setup for a local music festival, Togfest at Bradwell Abbey in Milton Keynes, when someone mentioned that there were some beekeepers on site.
I poked my nose round the corner and took some pictures from a respectful distance and one of the beekeepers came and explained that they were rescuing a hive that had got out of hand in someone's garden. He then said that they would welcome some photos for training purposes and would I mind getting suited up and getting in amongst them. What an opportunity! Even when he said that he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't get stung (I didn't) I thought it was an opportunity too good to miss.
