Bee-mimicking hoverfly Volucella bombylans has been one of the most conspicuous insects here in the last couple of weeks - more numerous than real bumblebees. We've seen orange-, buff- and white-tailed forms, many bumbling around in mating pairs or visiting Wild Angelica flowers

I love doing shook swarms at this time of year. If I had the time & the frames I'd happily do it to all colonies & accept the 10% loss and the subsequent fall off of numbers. It's worth it to clear out the varroa&pathogens alone.
