The first Swarm of the season
The first Swarm of the season today - not great weather with a cold north east wind making it cold when the clouds covered the sun. The went for a raspberry bush which meant they ended up on the ground but were persuaded to clime into my bee basket when it was placed over the pool of bees. I hived them from a sloping board at about 5.00 and they went in OK but with a large lump hanging on the front of the hive. Hope they will have taken up residence properly by morning. I am up late for the count tonight, three o'clock they say which is very late for me the I will see if I have lost my deposit (I am expecting to!)
