GM plebs! We had an interesting weekend managing our ladies. The queen #bee picked the best of the warm spring weather to swarm to a 10m high branch in our hawthorns and we spent the afternoon trying to coax her and 25,000 other bees into a new hive box. Now we have two hives! 🤩 Not a single sting, either - they know that we’re there to assist them and leave us alone…. Looking forward to lots of delicious lavender-scented honey this year.
