I suddenly haves lot of bees - more than I had anticipated.
I had set up three concrete based hive stations with eye bolts for strapping down(we have a small herd of clumsy fallow deer that pass through most mornings)
Swarm number four has no station and is in an emergency position and really should be moved for its own safety.
It was football sized ,came from 100 yards away two days ago and apart from a tennis ball clump of stragglers left there, it's clearing out old comb and there is some pollen been taken in.It has a frame feeder of syrup.
I need to move it 10 foot sideways once I've got the station prepared
Any advice?
