    Brown goo on queen cage

    Haha t Haha don't worry, I'm really grateful for the help! The dead hives still had frames and frames of honey, they were piled up inside and next to the hives. Found the queen dead in each too 🥺 I cleaned out the hives straight away (even hoovered the grass to get the dead ones so the hens...

    Brown goo on queen cage

    I have no idea 😞 unless they have sprayed something else, or it could be pure coincidence that they died out within 48 hours of their lawn being sprayed. We have found a dead hedgehog in the garden last week too. Again I don't know if coincidence? I'm devastated as all 4 hives came through...

    Brown goo on queen cage

    Maybe 😢💔 I have half an acre and the bees are in the center of it so that they are nowhere near fences etc. I'm looking for somewhere to keep my hives now

    Brown goo on queen cage

    They refused to tell me despite me telling them my kids had eaten honey from the affected hives. They just keep telling me that it is "organic" weedkiller to get rid of the clover, dandelions and buttercups 😢 they also had these tiny little blue and pink flowers in their lawn that the bumblebees...

    Will she survive the post?

    Swarm investigating hive

    I should add there is no honey in the comb and they were checking out the entrance and the outside of the hive as much as the inside. My beekeeper friend has only caught a swarm once and said it arrived the same day inspecting began? Was this just luck?

    Swarm investigating hive

    Hi everyone I am looking for a bit of advice. A friend gave me an old bee hive and I have been on a beginners course. The last two days bees have been investigating the hive. It starts with a couple then builds up then in the evening the bees vanish. Today there must have been a hundred bees...
