The Church Clock

There was small village, which had a church clock. It would strike a bell on the hour. The all villagers arranged everything according to the toll of the bell. However one day the clock suddenly stopped and the bell rang no more. The villagers begun to discuss what happened to the clock. No one could explain what was wrong with the clock.

The next day. The vicar of the village climbed the stairs into the clock tower to see what had happened. The vicar realized to his surprise that the clock had been invaded by bees; the appearance of the clock was full of wax and honey. A queen bee was staying in the center of the bell. Some bees were flying around. Some would come and go around it; and the others were crawling slowly on the bell. The vicar was trying to drive them away, but failed it.

There is a better way to get the bees away from the clock. A bee keeper was called. The keeper firstly removed the queen bee by using a special method. The queen bee had no sooner left the bell then the others soon followed it.
The vicar let someone cleaned the clock and the bell working again. The village returned the normal life.
