My partner took this picture but what do you think is happening?

Look closely at the amount of bees

Sun is shining

 

[birdsandbees]

well, the amount of bees could be a number of things?

orientation flights, bees in the air due to inspecting?

 

[wightbees]

Maybe the picture doesn't give the full justice of the amount of bees! They are leaving the hive at a incredibly speed...

Are you peeing over them to help prevent them leaving in that picture by any chance? looks like it.

The sloe berries are ripening well which reminds me need to purchase a couple of litres of gin, last years sloe gin has all gone

At this time of year?
Then the answer is he has EFB

Looks to me like he's just taken off a pile of supers and they have taken offence .. the roof is off the hive and he's got what looks like a queen excluder in his hand ...

No no......you'd be surprised and maybe aghast that shook swarming is encouraged at all times of the year by the BBKA.....maybe not winter but then there is Sussex University advocating scraping all the brood out into the snow

Is it a split but there hasn't been a hive placed on the original location yet?

 

[Hivemaker.]

It's the bees swarming.

Not the BBKA... just the BBKA, so called forum on Facebook.
