Bee

This year's pigeon, last year's bee. It is a huge fur-coated bumble bee, thudding into the window angrily then stopping for an indignant rest. If I let it out it will die of cold so I'm keeping it.
The cat is intrigued but it's too big for her to fight and I think she remembers getting a Fat Lip a couple of years ago, then a Fat Paw, from trying to eat and play with bumblers. It's an amazing creature and it's quite good company.
Akiko Hada once tried to hire a bee for the video opera, The Fall Of The Queen, and was quoted £1000. She ended up using a toy one, but I'm wondering.. could this be my way out of the recession?

Has it got a name? I think it should have if you are going to keep it. I have stood at school with a little group of children watching a huge bee cleaning itself just like a little cat on our big yellow slide. I am waiting to hear a pigeon soon so I can hear if it really is saying youstupidbugger.
