Bee Mystery

"Hay is full of stories," Karl Showler said to me the other day - and proceeded to tell me one of his.
Over the Festival, he found a ceramic bee which had been left in his garden. Karl is known for his bee-keeping - he used to have a small bookshop dedicated to books about bees as well - so he thought that this must have been left by one of his friends. He knew that the bee was fairly expensive, so he made a few enquiries.
None of his friends knew anything about it.
So he went to the gallery in Hay that he knew the bee had come from.
"So that's where it is!" they said.
The bee had been bought by a man from Holland, and left on display with a discreet "Sold" sticker until he picked it up. When he came back for it, it had gone.
So someone had taken the bee from the shop, and left it in Karl's garden....
Fortunately, now the man from Holland can have the bee he paid for.
