The reluctant beekeeper was haunted by the ghostly “king bee without a shadow”. At first, he thought the constant buzzing he heard was left over from the great bell tower incident of 1893. Tha ringing sensation only really lasted for a few months, the residual effect was all in his mind. The buzzing began shortly after he was forced to take over his brother-in-law’s beekeeping business in 1896. He ignored the “buzzing” for a long time until he started to notice the townspeople staring at him and pointing at a spot just above his head. They could all see this apparition of a giant lamenting bee hovering just over his head.
