After the untimely death of legend ( well locally, anyway) beekeeper Ricky Wilson his son Rob has carried on and has queens to sell this year. Thought I’d share the good news
I wonder what this could be ?

Can anybody shed any light on this?
Through the year we have seen the odd hornet. Suddenly two weeks ago we were seeing maybe 100 in and around the garden, flying along a beech hedge to the bullaces and now on the Ivy.
Would the nest mature that quickly leaving the workers with no larval food...
