A drover driving a flock of sheep to the Oraiji Railway Station had an unenviable experience with bees recently (says an exchange). The queen bee settled on his head, and th? swarm followed with uncomfortable results. Fortunately he had time to unloose his horse, which he sent out of danger, otherwise there may have been a. stampede. When help arrived the bees were dispersed and the journey continued.
