I collected the kit from my dead-out tree colony this afternoon. As I lifted the roof off its sides fell off. It all felt a bit Laurel and Hardy 😀 I’d used some fairly tired hive parts though as the site was right next to a road and clearly visible, so if it did go missing I wasn’t going to lose much. That’s another roof into the workshop for repair then, though I suspect the only thing worth saving in this case might be the metal cover.
Inside I found a live mouse which presumably must have climbed the cavity of the tree to get to the top. It was sufficiently scared to go for a big dive off the floor from about four feet up to escape though.
