And there is a buzz in the air when DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and his trusty sidekick, DS Jamie Winter, played by Nick Hendrix, find themselves called to beautiful manor house, Apley Court, producers of top of the range honey, for their first investigation.
Welsh actor and comedian Griff Rhys Jones stars as pompous Lord of the Manor and obsessive bee keeper, Ambrose Deddington, who finds himself under attack by a masked assailant and it's not long before a dead body is found, covered in swarming bees.
Midsomer, now on its 22nd series, has kept audiences around the world gripped with its gruesome and madcap murders and is the UK's longest running detective drama.
Filming on some of this year's episodes had to take place under strict Covid guidelines because of the pandemic. Neil, 60, said, "The first morning on set it was quite unnerving seeing everyone socially-distanced and in masks but within 15 minutes of filming I'd slipped back into the wacky world of Midsomer with frightening ease!"
