Bee survey

I'm trying  to improve my bee photography so I can submit some meaningful results to the Dahlia bumblebee survey. I know this isn't a Dahlia but I was practising!

Two bits of annoying news today: 
- Z managed to get a congestion charge fine when she drove through London the other day.
- The place we are going to in Germany for our holiday can't fit us all in to the accommodation without one of us being put into a single room and therefore they are charging us an extra 126 Euros - makes no sense to me but I'm sure there is some German logic in there somewhere.
