GH Swarm My girls in GH1 decided they wanted to move elsewhere. Frantical callfrom home had me rushing away from work. The girls had settled three gardens up and were happily ensconced under a little metal table.The neighbours were not quite so happy apparently but they soon settled down when the girls did!Out came my homemade skep to gather them up.Then it was back to a nice new hive in the garden.Going Home!
I couln’t resist the white sheet march method and I wanted to see which Queen was leaving home.
Ultimately it was GH1′s original – left a brood frame in her hive when doing the split which had eggs and uncapped brood! Duh! wont do that again!
Running Out of Room!
What’s a couple of splits and a swarm and a queen rearing lesson all got in common?
Well………….. a serious amount of money spent on equipment……….masses of stress……….an understanding Boss……..and a desire to live in another desres area!
