Duck race 2014

Not the most obvious entry for a blog entry for an association of bee keepers....and you may think this looks like an ordinary plastic duck....the sort of thing a child (or a bee keeper!) might play with in the bath.  But it wont look like a duck for very much longer....

A dab of mascara here...


A stripe here....


A wing here...


An evening to dry properly and our new queen duck is taking shape...


A second set of wings and she is all set for the race....


Safely delivered to the start line, she obviously took to heart that she should behave like a bee and tried to get off to a flying start (there she is just hanging around in the starters net)



That starters net proved to be a serious handicap as she promptly capsized...


C33 was last seen scuba diving towards the finish line...

But none of that matters really. A jolly good day out was had by all who attended and much needed funds were raised for Casey Childrens' ward at Epsom hospital, and other local charities...
