We had a successful inspection today. I caught this very short video of a frame of drone brood. It's rather cute with all the new drones emerging from their cells. I've never seen so many all emerging in the same area at the same time.

More swarm control
We had a good inspection again this week and performed a number of manipulations to our hives, mainly to continue our work to reduce the chance of swarming.
Watch the video below (under 5 minutes), where you can find out about swarm control, different types of brood, drones and how bees carry pollen.

Queen with her workers
We caught this lovely photo of one of our queens. Notice how all the workers around her are facing towards her to attend to her every need.
She has a blue mark on her head (a bit worn off now), which tells us that she was born in 2020.
