Thanks, they were a swarm from a hive (artifical swarm?) and appeared docile although I was stung through my rubbish gloves. I sort of wanted to be stung early so I am not scared of being stung again.
I have no supers on but had 10 frames and I think only two are empty. Perhaps they are edgy...
I am a bit new so please be gentle.
I have my set up and now have some bees I got last weekend. Everything seems to be ok lots of coming and going and activity so I thought I would have a go at my first inspection without much success.
I get the smoker out and am very conservative with it, but...
