Perhaps the bees will be so busy moving the nadired stores about, they won’t get the urge to swarm. Even if they did (get the urge) then the weather, which will revert to Autumn in a few days, should prevent them completing the process. Perhaps swarm cells may get started, then get torn down...

Oh the shame!

Poor old things. Had this in a couple of colonies this year. Quite upsetting.

Thanks Jenks. Much obliged😳

I might give using mine a go then. Thanks

That Carys is a bit of a character. You didn’t notice her telling the other colonies by semaphore?🎌🆘🎌

Was Methuselah a beekeeper then?

Oh dear.... I am really surprised at this.

Succinct and to the point, Dani😂

I just hire the car wash at the village petrol station.

Sound advice methinks.

If you’re sure there’s not been a supercedure and the new queen isn’t up and running yet, then Becky’s Bees might be able to help. I find her attitude and customer service is pretty damn good.

Here in Dorset, the next county to Hampshire, I have received no information from the powers that be.👎

What’s the state of your other four hives? Can you support them?

Wow - impressive. (How do you get the propolis off the iPad?) With only four colonies it would be overkill, but it’s annoying just how much I forget between inspections!

It’s because there’s nothing else for them to do, so they play games. One is a competition to guess how many eggs can be laid in a single worker cell in a given time. Apparently the record is twenty six eggs in four minutes as recorded in the Mead Book of Records.

No, it means being aware of what we’re being told is going on.

Perhaps a drone being evicted?
