Opening the front door, I welcomed my family home from their holiday in Turkey.
It was Wednesday 10 July this year and they’d been away for a week in the sun.
‘Dalaman was beautiful,’ my mum Louise, 47, said, smiling.
‘You’d have loved it,’ my dad Ashley, 47, agreed.
They all looked tanned, even my brother Joshua, 15.
‘We brought you back a souvenir!’ Mum said, passing me a little bracelet.
‘Thanks Mum!’ I smiled. But it seemed my family had brought back more than one souvenir with them...
A week later, Dad and I were in the conservatory.
‘It’s such a hot day today,’ I said, opening the back door.
As I released the handle, a tiny bee came buzzing in.
‘What is that?’ I said to Dad. Flying straight into the conservatory, it dropped petals onto the sofa.
Looking in awe at the little insect, I was fascinated.
It was smaller, darker and faster than any regular bee.
‘I found petals on the sofa yesterday!’ Dad said to me.
‘I didn’t think anything of it, but that explains it.’
‘Dad, this is not a normal bee!’ I said confidently.
‘Let’s Google it,’ we agreed.
Searching the web, I typed in petal, cocoon, bee.
