I'm a new beekeeper in Kent. Did my beekeeping course last year. My story so far. Received my first swarm last Wednesday evening by Friday they had left!!! Clearly didn't like my hive. Had the opportunity of a nuc. Arrived last night, nuc was left on my hive stand overnight. This morning the bees are flying around the entrance. Hope they are just orientating themselves and not planning to fly off again. As I have a Langstroth and the nuc is national, the frames are different so tomorrow night after work the frames are going to be adapted to merge them somehow. Chap from beekeeping group is coming to help thank goodness. After that I will be on my own as there other people in the group are not near enough to me
Hope all your bees are doing ok so far and that you get lots of honey.
