As some of you will have read I was a swarm magnet over the last few weeks I'm sure this will have been covered before but the search does not do phrases So if any of you have a link to where I find instructions it may save time . This is what I'm thinking ! Both brood boxs have a queen ! And...

my bee keeping friend has been down to see if we could see what state the brood is in and if there are any queen cells but we have had to give up and revert to plan a raes idea of waiting till we've new cells in the brood box and trap the queen in to let the bees hatch .

ok the swarms in the new brood box and all happy! It did take a little doing as the queen did not want to go in , she is very small but a second attempt got them in !!

on that note just in case i'm going to have a right good drink before hand !!!! Just in case !!
