cheers Mike bee-smillie

after picking up a swarm and they are doing fine im on a single b/b i have my other hives on doubles your thoughts on putting a supa with foundation( 11 frames ) without a q/e knowing they are still on 50% foundation in the b/b would putting it on hinder them just a though not worthy

its a shame how a guy doing his job has lost his life my thoughts are with his family (god bless)

cheers Richard it is a wonderfull feeling picking up a swarm all well in the hive Q should be in i will leave now for a few weeks let them get on with it once brood at all stages i will find and clip her not worthy

picked up a swarm that had settled in some gorse and stay for a few days before i had the call put them in bb with the branch they was on anyway left four frames out to accommodate the branch should of left it out in the first place as they had started to build two combs on crown board took...

please take on in my experience bubble bees will keep themselves to themselves enjoy your jubilee bbq if you try to do any thing now will only upset them and you enjoy have one of the most doscile bees in your garden after all they would have been their for a few weeks without you even...

just log or colony in for the survey Cheers Susbees thanks for letting us know:) Alannot worthy

i would wait till you have had a good look through them the q may have been a vg how did you know about the ones in the church was it common knowledge

Hi Kaz good news have you inspected it or are you resisting till they settle innot worthy:cool:

my have V queen(hard to spot if not mated yet) i would leave alone for 7 days let them settle only way to find out :cool:

i would but and travel screen on them so they dont over heat plus a screen on the front so air can flow i take it they are three miles plus away from your apairy after getting them their i would see how they settle before taking the next step dont forget to have the frames parallel to the car...

:iagree:

Clipping the wings can delay a swarm as the queen can't fly so the swarm would hang around buying the keeper a bit of time i believe to clip her always :cool:

how are swarm doing with the weather getting warm

would it not be a god time if as swarm was left till late evening to spray with O/A and put on a wired floor in a cool dark place so if any varroa was presant you could check the fall before they start a new colany with eggs/ brood :sifone:

do you have to go private for the injection or can you get the doctor to get through nhs just wondering :dupe:

i find not looking for her is a good way to find her as you are looking on the frame as long as you see grubs /eggs im happy seeing her is a bonus if i do find her i like to cage her and keep her safe till i have been through the hive for what ever reason knowing she is safe and old hair roller...

fingers crossed it's a cool sight to see a swarm check out a hive :rolleyes:

well it should be im writing to my MP cheers mate
