Things may get going like last year by July 31 or earlier and that is the waiting game that we will be going thru.

Today was certainly a pleasant change from the light and variable winds Barbados has been experiencing over the last week or so.
On another note - For some reason honeybees have recently been swarming in great numbers here on the island. Some fishermen have spotted large swarms of them coming over the sea from the west (presumably from the islands to our west).
A local bee expert says that the bees are acting more agressively than usual and are also producing more honey than usual. He stated that, from his experience, this means that we're in for some bad weather this year. I think he also stated that another possible explanation is pending volcanic activity in the other islands.
