Created this scene of chaos in the rain. On the right was a hive with a failing/failed queen. I decided to unite them with a very strong nuc on the left. In the middle is a stack of supers with a nuc on top, entrance facing the other way. I had to find a deep box for the nuc plus an empty super because the nuc was 12x14. So piles of frames everywhere. I used newspaper and also air freshener for belt and braces. I didn't realise the state of the place till I looked at the photo.
But at least my notes were dry. I used a portable tall tent (I think they are for a loo usually) which my wife got me a while past. I was worried about being able to fold the springy thing up again. I did succeed by force of unrestrained determination.![chaotic apiary.jpg chaotic apiary.jpg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/beekeepingforum/data/attachments/28/28550-e9dd11bfd23027e6bc1a327baf208bf6.jpg)
