Just after lunch I walked into the stables with my son. He cocked an ear and said "I can hear bees". I listened and detected the buzzing which with investigation was coming from outside the door we had just entered by. Looking out we could see a cloud of bees coming from the East and swirling round the bait hive sitting on top of an old piggery. The cloud slowly thinned out as bees settled on the front of the bait hive and entered until after about fifteen minutes the cloud had gone with just a few bees hovering in front of the hive and the rest on or in the box.
Having thought about it for a while I decided I had enough hives already and would struggle to accommodate another so I circulated our Association by email to offer them. Within minutes a response came back and they will be going to a new home tomorrow. The new owner will be checking health etc.
