Maddy and Tim Harland take you into the eye of a honeybee swarm as it spirals in a vortex above their garden before settling in a carefully placed bait hive in a tree.
Learn how to set up your own bait hive, sit back and watch the bees come. They show how feral bees arrived in May last year. This year the swarm is in June and from the same bees that they placed in a top bar hive in their apiary that are now ready to divide.
This is definitely the most exciting and fun way to add bees to a garden!
