Well it is that time of the year again where the weather is border line for the bees to fly..a lot get caught short on returning and end up chilled and unable to make it to the hive entrance once the sun is going down..I finished work today and looked on the nuc entrances ..I must of collected roughly 200 bees from the debris netting that i use across the front of the hive stand to stop them undershooting the landing board ..these bees from four different nucs where placed in a take away type container and warmed over a low gas ring..once they where mobile again i slid the crown board over on my weak nuc and popped them on the top bars ..the warmed up bees quickly walked down into the cluster..
Am i sad or does anyone else warm and rescue chilled bees..
