Second visit to C & R's out apiary which has gone well. Left to do the first hive on my own (1 super) then assisted R with the bigger hive. No sign of the queen in the first hive although eggs seen so she is in there somewhere. R did manage to find the queen in the second.
Discussed the time frame for me acquiring my own hive (s). Still think I am going to wait until next year although R suggesting I should get one now so it is ready to start producing from the off next spring. Food for thought. Must buy a bee suit!!!!
