Okay, it's a kettle and its not boiling, but thats just detail.

Moderate activity around the bait hive in my back garden this afternoon, but by 16:45 I figured it was too late for anything. Went inside. My wife comes home 20 minutes later to say "why is that hive in the back garden covered in bees?" Yep, missed the great event yet again! Nice swarm though, look to have a lot of Italian in them. More to the point covering 6 frames. Now down at the apiary.

One day I'll see a swarm arrive, thats 6 bait takes I have missed now :mad:
