Hi help needed,
I carried out an artificial swarm last Thursday and thought everything had gone well. I went back to check today and found I had placed the original hive with queen in the original position but facing 180 degrees out. I found lots of dead bees under the hive and also under the OMF. I have now rotated it to face the correct way and I'm not sure if I've done the right thing. So any help would be appreciated,
Graeme
