A friend was in her bathroom recently and heard a loud buzzing noise.
A thorough search of the room proved fruitless, nothing in the bath, on the window or sill, tangled in the shower or ordinary curtains, on the ceiling or behind the door?
Listening more intently she was sure there was a peculiar "echo" to the buzzing. Tracking it down more carefully lead her to......
.........the toilet cistern!
Lifting the lid revealed a rather drowsy but clearly peeved queen bee that was grateful to escape from the watery prison.
After giving her time to recover the queen made it out via an open bedroom window.
It is likely that the bee had entered the cistern via the overflow pipe, perhaps because she was exploring it for a possible nest site?
