Apairy Visit 9th July 2015

Todays visit to the bee's 

Today's visit to the bee yard could be a case of 2 steps backwards , one step forward . 

With such bad weather for the last few days , we've not being able to get a inspection of the bee hives done and when we inspected today we think that we might of had 2 hives (at least ) swarm on us . 

Boo hoo , now its a waiting game for new queen's to hatch , mate and begin laying again . 

But on the plus side , one the the swarm traps we have dotted around our apairy had some great activity , so we reckon that one swarm made it only as far as a swarm trap / bait hive 

sorry the video is "sideways" , in the excitement of finding a swarm that we though was lost - i forgot to turn the phone to landscape
