Yep. It didn’t seem that big really, but now that I’ve taken a look at the photos it does look like quite an impressive swarm – lets hope it’s a prime swarm with a decent laying queen and not a cast swarm, as we could do with an already mated queen in the apiary really – or at least a couple of months of nice weather!

If the weather suits then we’ll have a proper inspection of all of our bees on Friday to see what they are all up to. It would be nice if this swarm and the other swarm we caught in Borth a week or so ago are doing well.
