First swarm 2022 . . . .

Right - Who has managed to get some honey in the supers already? Its only April. The bees are hard workers! We like sunshine and warmth and politely request that it stays until October with the occasional overnight downpour to keep things fresh!

Need a bigger box…

This hive was tiny in March. In fact I have no idea how it survived winter. Left them to it in the background and now super strong…

Dumped a queenless hive and put a virgin queen and frame in same spot with new hive. Checked today and she hasn’t been assassinated. Risky but worked. The old switcheroo…

When they decide they don’t want there entrance reduced….

New queens are always the hardest to find…she’s in there somewhere!
