It's all frothing round here too... and every time I climb the stile into our top field I get stabbed in the bum by a thorny branch from the tiny sprig I planted 5 years ago. Totally my own fault. Swarming season for honey bees is said to start when the may is out - we need to check our hive... I love the tiny little white snowball-flowers before they open up and I'm fascinated Zab by what you write about the smell... each to their own!

Melissa Harrison likes the smell so you're in good company if you do too Mum! We have a jasmine outside our back door that we also think absolutely stinks of piss. Pretty though! Good luck with your bees...
