She giving you a fierce 'keep away' look
It was world bee day a couple of days ago – it was raining too much to do a bee inspection then but yesterday we opened up the hives for a quick look to see how they were doing. Of course we didn’t notice when looking ‘live’ but look what we spotted on looking at the photos! The queen in the hive housing the swarm we rehomed last week!!🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝👑🐝🐝🐝
And another swarm- the season has really started now! This one was in rather an awkward spot on a corner post so we didn’t try & rehome them. It appeared to be from the same hive as the first swarm so was probably a cast with a virgin queen 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
It’s all happening here at the moment! Yesterday evening we had our first bee swarm of the season. As we had a spare hive we decided to cut the branch and drop them in to their potential new home. Checked today and so far they seem very happy so 🤞🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯🐝🐝
