Ten days ago Maddy and Tim attracted a swarm of honeybees to a bait hive carefully placed up a tree in their forest garden. Watch youtube.com/watch?v=wnugLGqPcj4. Since then, they have been moving the little nuc box a few feet a day towards the apiary. Now it is time to move the colony into a full size hive.
See how to carefully rehome bees with minimal disturbance. Marvel at how quickly bees draw out frames with wax and start making honey. See also how quickly a healthy Queen will fill a frame with brood. Also enjoy the wildflower meadow in its full flush of flowers, a perfect place for honeybees and other insects to live.
