collected a large prime swarm this afternoon, they are presently in my skep, in the back garden.

Hi, you couldn’t put them back could you and pick them up next month when I could give them a lovely home in NR6.

Hi Tony, typical that I have been out all evening and its well late now. Another night and I would of been over (fair trek mind) but a lady near me is very keen to fill her hive and after loads of activity yesterday on the swarm front today has seen just the one that had moved on before we arrived.
Will see what tomorrow brings

gone to a nice chap who lost his colonies over-winter.
I'll post again if/when I get another swarm that needs housing ;)
 
That was a nice thing to do. Must be quite heart breaking when that happens but I expect if you keep bees it’s going to happen.

I know of a feral colony in a chimney, now is there a way to lure them into a hive.
