Wild comb

[Hux70]

I was in Bridgenorth yesterday and went to see how the castle bees were doing. I could see 5 entrances that looked quite busy along with a nice big chunk of wild comb also very busy. Thought I'd share if anyone finds themselves visiting the town.

It won't be too hospitable in winter unfortunately - probably a swarm that couldn't make its mind up on a permanent home and before too long had built a load of free comb ... the likelihood is that the colony will die out over winter unless they have a cavity behind that alcove that they can occupy as well. You sometimes find colonies that seem to defy the common sense that they usually exhibit.

"5 entrances" sounds like there is also a cavity

Still pleasing to the eye despite their unfortunate decision.
