That would have been a real shame, that all plastic hive company had only just got off the ground!:LOL:

I can't imagine anything other than a sledgehammer or a vehichle with a front loader doing that to the concrete hive. I know freeze thaw cycles can crack concrete but that looks more like impacts to me. A large falling tree is possible, but given the lack of a tree or signs of one having been...

I'm convinced mine fall into the same sub dimesnion that Douglas Adams described all the philips head screw drivers disappearing into.

Thanks E&M, I'd have missed that otherwise.

I had a go at that Sutty and found it a real PIA even with a few frames :ROFLMAO: Soon switched to one of those small screw driven fruit presses, easier and far more satisfying.

Only the second swarm I've had this year so far but it looks a bit larger than the first. Sadly wasnt able to stick around to watch them finish going in as was going out for dinner, still amazing to hear and see them arrive though.

Impressive camera work

That looks very organized and beautifully maintained!

A lot of interest in the swarm trap at home yesterday with a few scuffles breaking out at the entrance at one point. Hoping to have chance to see them arrive from distance similar to last year. I'd caught a few by this time last year but this is the first real interest that's been shown in any...
