The Mystery of the Move

Bees aren't out and about that much in the winter.  We stay in the hive in a cluster, keeping warm and keeping the hive warm.  Lina was kidnapped near the end of the summer and we all spent the winter, pretty much staying warm, but worrying about her.  However, when we came out things had changed, a lot.  Our hive was in the top part of a big old oak tree and we hadn't realized that a great big flood had swept by the tree.  Some of the smaller trees had been uprooted. There were traces of the flood all over the place.  Lots of  dried mud coated everything.  The biggest change was that the farm was gone.  The farm buildings were all messed up.  I had to do a lot of investigation.  I finally found out that the fairies had helped Tom and the others move the whole farm to a safer place just in time. Some of the fairies can twist time and that made it possible for things to get taken care of.  They made time stand still until they had things all packed up and moved.  I flew around until I found out where Thimble farm had moved to.  Then our whole hive moved as well.  I'm so glad we survived the flood.  That oak tree is a wonderful tree.  I still visit it from time to time, just to say thanks for saving us from the flood.  More adventures to tell you about later.  Your friend, Delbert Bee.
