Okay, so for better or worse, a swarm landed in the garden next to mine while I was installing a window, obviously in my excitement I stopped fitting the window so now I have an open hole in the wall of my garage. I quickly knocked together a dummy nuke out of some planks I had around and went and caught my first swarm.
I’ve left it underneath the tree for now. I found the queen and put her in a queen clip.
I’m gonna move it over to my garden this evening once I’m sure all the bees have come down from the tree as there were still a few buzzing around there after I caught them.
I’ve ordered a new hive that should be here in a couple of days which I’ll transfer me into. It was a relatively small swarm from what I’ve seen.
So I’m sure I’m in for telling off from somebody. So give me your criticism I’m ready.
