I have one hive + colony and seem to be doing quite well, bought them on the 1st April, nuke on 5 frames with a queen marked green, clipped wings.
This pm I have discovered another colony nesting in the ground about 10 foot from the front door. These bees are different as they are predominantly black.
I don't believe mine have swarmed and they are not bumble bees.
*How can I tempt them out, has anyone just lost a colony? They are foraging and returning to the hive with pollen. I fear as their numbers swell, because of the location, they will become an issue.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
