Archive Bugs are attracted to bee gear

[Jean MacDonald 522]

Told mum bout this and she reckoned yep all bugs love clothing that has been near bees. Extra shake from now on before I put anything on. Must say the kindy teachers didn't seem quite as delighted as I'd hoped when I brought him to live in their empty weta house. Kids loved it though.
