Ha ha..kinda made my day...again!:001_rolleyes: I arrives chez mateys ( whose bees it was that swarmed and ended up in my backyard as per earlier post). Bad timing. I just wanna head to the pub for food and beer, it being sunday...as you do!

Getting my arm twisted, I agree to stop for a quick glass of wine. Whilst so doing, I comment that his bees ( the hive is on a flat roof in urban situation) seem a bit active..since the new hive at mine is pleasantly chilled out. OOpppssss:blushing:

Ten minutes later and we have another swarm on our hands....

Ah well..to cut a long story short, we have managed to install all the swarm to the newly located hive in my backyard- doubling its size. Quick sharp add another supa, doubling the capacity, we are good to go. Poor neighbours . Actually I was a bit worried there as they really didnt seem to know what they wanted to do ( the bees ) and were swarming for some extended time. I have no experience with bees and the other "apiarist" makes a sharp exit claiming liquid refreshment is crucial and anyway, he's had enough of these damn insects.:confused1:

 

Its all good- I didnt know/dont know what Im doing with these things. They are so cool. When they wanna be. And quite aggressive when the mood takes them it seems. Happy days!:lol:

does anyone have an opinion on the aphids this year, i was lifting a semi matue syc today and got absolutely swarmed by them, a couple of others have noted an increase in numbers, something to do with the weather perhaps?
