Bees are known a busy bees for a reason 🐝. Sometimes I video bees and slow things right down. It's amazing how much more you can see.

So that's swarm #6 of bee fishing, sorry swarm season. It's a good size. I'm not throwing it back.

I think this is our 5th swarm now.. I understand why local papers build up the drama, but stand still, listen and watch, they're truly amazing. 🐝

Today was tte first day in her new hive for a purchased Buckfast line Queen Bee. As part of her managed introduction she'll stay safe in her isolation cage for a few days longer. But, signs are that they seem to like her.. 🤞

Well who doesn't like free bees?

Moving in is our second swarm 'caught' by a scented 'trap' in exactly the same position, three weeks apart. Welcome girls. 🐝
