Summary: Jack isn't always right.

***

“They look like bees, Ianto.”

“Jack says they’re aliens.”

“I used to spend summers on my uncle’s farm and he kept bees. I think we need to get some protective suits and a smoker.”

Ianto might have reconsidered if Gwen hadn’t chosen to mention her la-di-da summers in the country. He stepped forward with his weapon drawn.

“Cach!”

“Good old Apis mellifera,” said Owen, pulling out the stinger and applying a cooling salve.

Jack gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, but Ianto could see him exchanging an amused look with Gwen. That was what really stung.
