| Prospero The Intrepid in a self-serving photo (more below, but more interesting) |
JIMENA Your intrepid reporter on Wednesday donned beekeeper's gear to help an old friend take care of a hive that had taken possession of a tool shed. The thing came about when Prospero was asked if he knew anyone who would remove it - you can follow the thread of it on Alberto Bullrich Ward's Facebook page. To put you in the picture, and remembering that Prosp knows nothing whatever about bees except that they can sting and they make wonderful honey and they are crucial to pollination and that just the other day the EU banned the use of a pesticide (or something) that was killing them in the millions - we were saying before a little knowledge got in the way, that Antonio, who owns and used to run what used to be called The Honey Bar, now La Parada, by local expats (twenty years ago) for obvious reasons, came to the shed in question prepared to start the process to remove the bees but unprepared to climb over gates given his and Prosp advancing years.>>>
