We were enjoying a quiet picnic in the park recently when the kids noticed a swarm of bees buzz past and head out towards the bay. Curious to see where they were going, we all got up and began to follow them.
We ran right past the giant spider web. As I chased the kids chasing the bees, we overtook the HMAS Manly, ran past some Pandanus trees and straight past Clint's beach. I finally caught up to the kids when they stopped near some rocks.
"Look daddy", Miss 7 said, pointing at the rocks. I looked down and saw a few bees sitting on the rocks. They were all different shapes and sizes. Looking around, I saw the other kids were still chasing after the swarm which comprised the bulk of the bees. As we ran after them, I noticed more bees sitting on the rocks here and there.
The swarm was slowly getting smaller as we ran past the guarded coast and the dear boats. Once we got past the house with Wilson's boat the bees had all disappeared.
I wanted to sit down and have a rest but the kids insisted that they knew where the bees were. I let them drag me out on a rocky path where fishermen sat dangling their lines. The path took a turn to the right and then we were at the end of the path. There was no sign of the bees.
But then one lone bee buzzed up to me and buzzed in my ear. It told me to walk thirty metres west-north-west and then turn and walk sixty-five metres west-south-west and my prize would be illuminated. We counted out the distances and soon found what we were looking for.
I'd love to hear in your log how many bees you were able to see on your walk. Miss 12 and Miss 7 counted eleven but they might have missed a couple.
Happy caching
