Queen bee mating?
« on: May 10, 2010, 01:08:27 pm »
My bees swarmed a couple of weeks ago and now the new Queen should be emerging.  Now I see that all the bees from the hive are gathered (or swarming) next to the hive on a trellis.  Could this be as a result of the Queen's mating flight?  Or is it a secondary swarm?  Anybody any ideas?

Answered my own question now!  ;)  Secondary swarm all boxed up in a new hive!   ;D
