What's a swarm worth in February? This was in the village today feb 17. Collected by another beekeeper. Starvation swarm perhaps?

Beautiful summer's evening. Club meeting with a talk and demonstration " hive to jar"

[Julian Newton @Beekeeperjools]

Back in for the second time. Went and got a frame of brood. They don't normally abscond with brood in the box but it's been a weird year so far

[Julian Newton @Beekeeperjools]

Chased them down the road 500m and waited for them to settle. Now in the nuc. Take them to isolation later today. Seem good natured and are very dark

[Julian Newton @Beekeeperjools]

We don't like your nuc so let's all go round this mulberry bush. No pleasing some. Will have another go when they have settled!
