Busy Bees!

I had had a very pleasant walk along the river and railway in Matlock and I was coming home a slightly different way when I saw a person in full bee keeping kit on one the of the roads near home.
Unusual enough, you may say. So I had to get talking to this person, a nice lady as it turns out, and she explained that the bees were part of her and her son's hive which had decided to explore pastures new.
They had had a bit of a fling round the neighbourhood and had come to rest not far from their original home. The lady was here to collect them back and she was in the process of settling them in some new area.
These were honey bees and they seemed very chilled and calm as they made their way into the temporary carrying box to be with the queen.
