What did you do in the Apiary today?

[Parsonage Bees]

That may also be true but I’ve been researching the little blighters all week and as they are insectivorous and very partial to a bee, this time of year they can nip into a hive & take bees from the outside of the cluster at their leisure.
And I run 14 colonies currently as a beekeeper…..

No repeat of the pile of bees under the hive here in Lincolnshire. Maybe the local moggy has culled the culprit.
