Foxes and Bees

I know when we moved into this house we were told that we might see a bit of wildlife in the garden, but this is ridiculous. The lame fox keeps on returning,although I wasn't too amused to look up one day and find him dragging his backside all along the front lawn like dogs do after they have had a poo, I must admit that he has managed to make me feel guilty about chasing him off all the time. The thing is he comes so close to the house, he was even sniffing around Coco's litter tray (yes, we probably have the only cat in the universe that uses a litter tray outside!) The other thing is he if full of fleas and mange, poor thing. Despite numerous calls to various organisations, no-one seems interested in helping him. Anyway, the other night at about 1am, Coco wanted to go out, Gerald noticed the fox lurking around the front door, tried to chase him off, but to no avail, the fox just stared at him and didn't budge. So Gerald sneaked round the back of the house , armed with a torch and a tambourine. Although that would be a terrifying sight and sound for most creatures, even a person would be a bit alarmed to have such an apparition leaping out at them from the darkness, our dear friend was unperturbed, he did slink off into the darkness briefly , but was waiting at the front door again a few minutes later. One wonders how it's all going to end, I hope he is caught and helped soon as he looks hungry.
We finally found an explanation for the curious humming sound that we have been hearing recently in the living room, late at night. When it was hot last week and we were sitting outside, we noticed all these bumble bees kept disappearing into a hole in the wall by a pipe that runs underneath the house and realised exactly what was going on down there. At first I was a bit concerned, I kept having visions of waking up one morning and finding the living room covered in bees, like some horror movie. Fortunately beekeepers are more interested in helping than the fox people, and a couple have been in touch with us. Apparently bumble bees are quite harmless and their swarms not much bigger than 50, they will also leave us after the summer, at which point we must block up the hole. Until then we must live in harmony with each other and consider ourselves fortunate that they have chosen to visit us as they are an endangered species.
Hmmmmm
