Scouting parties

Interesting turn of events for one of my bait hives, having just visited a possible swarm (sadly in a cavity so not able to retrieve) I placed the box on the patio table with the intention of putting it away later.

Next day when helping out in the bee tent get a text to say bees are going in and out of the bait box.

Later when I get home Jonathan insisted we suit up and go for a look. Nothing in there but hopefully they are happy with the accommodation.

Monday saw even more bees probably 50+ at times all around the hive, also doing what look like orientation flights.

Quick update bees in and out every day since Sunday could be only a matter of time I'll keep you informed.
