Sods law
« on: July 15, 2013, 10:53:26 am »
My sister said she would like some bees but that they are sooo expensive. I told her to get a hive in her garden and if she was lucky a swarm might just move in.
Well, of course she took no notice but rang me in a panic last night as a swarm had arrived in her garden looking for somewhere to set up home. They were resting in a bush right outside her kitchen window. She was then kicking herself that she didn't have a hive  ;D ;D

That'll teach her!  ;D


Wonderful to see bees swarming.  Me and my mentor have now doubled the number of our overwintered hives, and for the first time since I started beekeeping 4 seasons ago - I am going to get some honey  :excited:

SV, we lost a swarm too so there must be some lucky people out there picking them all up
