Free bees!

[PaleoPerson]

I am going to do a cut out in a stable tomorrow (23rd May) and there are two possibly three small fresh colonies.

They have been there less than a week and I suspect that they may be casts with virgin queens.

If any one wants to assist me, you would be more than welcome and you can keep the bees.

I only want one person max.

The bees are near Tilbury in Essex.

I have almost finished collecting them. A lot bigger than expected although there is two and not three.

Both have laying queensView attachment 6539View attachment 6540

Yes, the second one was there last year, but no-one spotted it, I assume the other one was a swarm from this one.

If anyone wants these, pm me.
