SYNOPSIS:
A rare bird pays a visit to the Grantleigh estate at the same time as Audrey goes into production with honey. When she finds out it's a "Bee-eater", the potential threat to her livelihood makes Audrey view it with distaste. Richard is advised to set up a guard to protect the bird and its young from disturbance by bird watchers and Audrey is drawn to accompany him during his nights vigil. With so many people coming to the estate Audrey is, for once, able to savour the sweet taste of success.
