Found the bees -:Mt little encounter the other day     (Bees)

I was having a shit day the other day, pushing the pram with the baby screaming in it, refusing all usual sleep ques.

I have seen only a couple of bees since winter ended, and I have a lot of flowers.

Anyway no paying much attention to the world on my walk, a masked man says something and waves his arms. I can't understand him and think he might be panicking about my lack of mask. So I change direction a little to avoid him and hear his warning this time as I see it - a hive and a massive swarn he is trying to catch, I had changed direction to be walking closer into it but I didn't want to cross the road so I closed the pram hood and gave as much berth as I could and said "I've been wondering where all the bees were and it turns out you took them all." He asks if I want to cross the road to avoid them but I don't and say "Nah, I'm not stealing their honey I'll be fine" and walk slowly through the bees. Baby goes silent and it was a really cool zen moment walking through a bee swarm and they just parted for me and the parm a little and didn't touch us. I checked the baby just after and no bees got in but then the crying started again.

This one's a bit harder. I can't believe it's only been three weeks and we're ready to put the second brood boxes on.

I found the queen of two of our three hives. They're getting out so much they're not sucking down the sugar water in the hive -top feeders like I thought. I think tomorrow it'll be time to add the second box of deep: two of the colonies had what appeared to be a single queen cup on each.

peltier plates can heat and cool. It might keep a hive alive or happier

It's a philosophical question. I suppose if a 'tax' is charged then a reach around of some kind is do.
