Inspected most hives yesterday. The good flow that was making every frame drip with nectar last week has come to a halt in SE Worcestershire. One apiary plagued by aggressive folllowers which I need to sort. First issue to resolve will be to work out which hive(s) - I'm fairly sure the majority of the hives are not followers but there are a couple of wrong 'uns. None of them boil over when opened but by the end of inspecting the apiary I'm followed by a dozen or so persistent bees. It's an apiary on an orchard and the farm workers have also noticed but are accepting for the moment but I don't want to push my luck. The OSR has come to an end which doesn't help but the following behaviour was the same when there was a good flow last week.
Any ideas for how to identify the culprit hive?
