It’s unusual to see quite that many – which is why I commented on it here, but then again, I guess it’s fairly unusual to have such lovely weather here too! 🙂

Hope your bees are doing well… We checked on ours the other day and for some reason the nice swarm that we collected earlier in the year had decided to swarm whilst we were away – what use is a swarm in September. Needless to say we didn’t see the swarm itself so that got away, along with the queen and we are now left with several hatched queen cells and a colony that presumably has an unmated virgin queen in it somewhere. Probably not much chance of her mating at this time of year now either.

Al.
