Bees Going?


Rumour has it that my bees are leaving; being sold and moved away!  Despite Mr B’s efforts we’ve had 3 swarms from 2 hives already this year and they’ve all gone over and annoyed some neighbours  - who really ARE annoyed.

 Mr B and F got them back again, but the neighbours really aren’t best pleased.  ‘Pity really.  We’ll miss our little buzzy friends.

 We’ve got a colony in reserve at a nearby farm.  Maybe they’ll come back in the Autumn.

 Meanwhile up at the allotment, the insect end of my Hotel El Gato has attracted solitary bees who have been really busy laying eggs and plugging holes.  So we have still got some pollinators.
