My first post.
Collected a swarm yesterday in Derby. The post was on FB saying swarm of bees in a hedge, so i made contact. Ironically it was a local beek with no spare gear. Once boxed i suggested we look through his hive to see why they needed to leave so early.
Lack of space was the reason and 4 other charged QC's gagging for reuse. Im returning today with empty frames to replace the 4 frames with QC's headed to good use.
Was a good sized prime swarm too, placed into 1 of my scorched TBH's.
