After months of waiting, I took delivery of my office’s two bee colonies late on Wednesday night.
Beehives have to be moved either first thing in the morning or late at night, when the bees are all back home in their hive and not out foraging. So I collected the hives from the breeder late at night and delivered them to their new home at the end of the office car park at about 11pm.
Here are some photos of them in place, and of me and fellow beekeeper Ste.
On Thursday morning there was a great deal of activity because there is plenty of nectar and pollen in the local vicinity for them to start foraging.
Keep checking back on this blog as I post more photos of us looking after the beehives over the coming months.
The hives in place at 11pm
Loving watching and reading about the progress. Let us all know how they settle into their new home.
