Though it’s mostly been yet another fairly grim day weather-wise, there was sunshine earlier this morning and bees were flying, so before lunch I took the opportunity to check on the site that I’d moved the hives from yesterday.
There was no sign of bees around the stand (which I’d left in situ in case I needed to put a box there to collect up errant foragers), so I’m going to declare the process a success.
I don’t think I’ll be moving them back until after any harvest at the end of the Summer, though I will set up a new bait hive there once the maintenance work has been done on the water mains.
