@@alexward8510 ta Alex, as the weather is lousy I have now given them a bit of feed to help them out, but don't want to overdo it, will do an update in a week or so to show how they are progressing. Ta for taking the time to watch and comment.

Well done, nice to keep all bees without losing any, satisfying 🐝🐝👍

@@martindale7559 ta Martin, I have tried hard to prevent swarming this year by doing splits and inspections, but obviously took my eye of the ball, wasn't expecting the colony to swarm. Lucky that I was about when they swarmed or else I think they would have gone fairly quickly.

I am not far from you and lost one so quick, the one day gone the next​@@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801

That was a nice prime swarm, Peter. Did you move the parent hive and put the swarm in its place? This can help stop the original hive from throwing casts👍

Just looked in the brood box, four queen cells, so just left the one. Hope it survives, if not I have a couple of spare nucs, so can use one of those queens.
