And as if the wandering into the rape and the inspection of the colonies there was not enough, the garden beekeeper recovered a Dutch swarm[1] from a car, which made its owner nervous.

The garden beekeeper actually already has more colonies than he needs this year. In this respect the new arrival was a bit like unintentionally pregnant... ;-)

[1] Some beekeepers call a "Dutch swarm" a swarm "van Andern" ("from others"), i.e. not from their own colonies, because their own colonies are of superior genetics and excellently managed, so that they certainly do not swarm ;-)
