Bees at Black Ian's

Was out having a lovely day at Black Ian's on Saturday before encountering some angry bees just after the Decree Nisi corner. Vicious beyond belief! Just a heads up.

Did you do Subpoena? There's often a hive just over the ledge on that. A current status update would be good.

Similarly there's frequently an active hive at the base of Jury Box.

When I was there in October 2012 there were bees near the top of Subpoena. I recall either you (Andrew) or Patrick were going to nuke them last year sometime?

Last time I was there (September 2013) the bees had gone from Subpoena and I don't recall seeing any others.

I have nothing to do with bee removal.

There weren't bees in May 2012, though there was a tiny bit of comb on the walls of that crack. I guess they were moving in.

I was last there in April 2013 and there weren't any bees then either.

That was Robbie, which I think he did.

We didn't get on Subpoena, though walking along the cliff top looking down and from looking from below I couldn't notice any.

Maybe the vicious dog scared the bees away.

Ah ... yep ... Myself, my climbing partner, the puncture wounds and a couple of torn garments may beg to differ, but I could be wrong!!
