Apidea success

Long lie.

Out to bees to check the new apiary.

First checked 2 queenless ones, still no eggs or brood. Worrying will try and get a couple of queens.

The nuc I am selling looks good and will put it into a hive they have given me.

Lastly checked the hive I introduced a queen from an apidea. All successful.

Went to out apiary with eco mum and callie.

We walked callie through the woods, spotted a swarm high up a tree so got ladders and grappling hook of the laird. Up to top of ladders and throw the grappling hook to catch the branch and pull down. Tied it up and got the saw and cut branch and brought the swarm and branch down the ladder and put it into a nuc box. Fed and locked up.

Home.

Food shop.

Quiet night.
