when shopping in muswell hill on wednesday...roar, swarm going down the road, late on thursday went to vote...notice up on the lampost, reward offered for Bees ,has any one seen them..phone Jane..etc

Hope mine dont go, i need to do the weekly inspection on saturday...forcast for London is 7C and rain...perhaps take a chance 'she'll stay at home, even if a QC get capped...... or do i open up and chill the brood
