    Re-Queening nightmare

    That's exactly what I did last year not expecting to catch a swarm , never had before, now i'm up to 3 hives again but almost wish i hadn't started again, I fogotten how time consuming and heavy it all is and the worry of disease, asian hornets etc, but then I just can't resist them either :-)
