Accidental beekeeper in Sussex

[Robert Clark]

You have had plenty of advice here, the only thing I might add is that the time of day to disturb the girls can be crucial to their response, pleasant or grumpy aggressive. I find mid day up until 2.30, especially when the sun is lower in the sky, produces the calmest response

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
Anything to cause them least stress and upset.

your actions today mean you have slipped through the clearing board and into the world of the Beeks, I think you are going to do OK

slipped through the clearing board

You mean through the hole that should be covered with 50mm of PIR?
