What did I do in the garden today
Lots of scouts busy around bait hive in the garden all day yesterday well into dusk.
I thought there might be a swarm hanging out in the trees somewhere.
8.30 this morning they were still there and suddenly they weren't.......
and over my head at the other end of the garden I heard them.......
Wonderful to watch them pile into the hive.
I suppose that as they came in the morning and will have all day to forage I will have to move them a fair distance away before bringing them to the apiary.
They are in a five frame 14x12 box so probably a cast but free bees to draw comb.
