thanks for your help The established colony has produced honey a month ago and was my best producing hive last year, but now is not producing honey whilst a new colony, from a swarm, 4 meters away is producing - the Heather is very much in flower and will stay so normally until early sept.

I have two Hives on a heather moor in Devon the first produced 1 super of honey in July the second is a July swarm now producing some honey in the supers. However the first hive whilst it is very strong and aggressive with plenty of brood and food but no honey in the supers for four weeks now...

I had thought of fanning but its a lot cooler today - many thanks though.

question I took a swarm 2 weeks ago - rather it arrived in an empty hive - but there always appear to be twenty or so bees on the landing board just hanging around whilst other bees fly contently in and out. Any idea why this is or what it might mean? thanks in anticipation Pete - Devon UK
