I passed by my plot this morning, and there were masses of bees round a couple of the empty hives, so I thought the swarm was probably due. Sure enough, I went back after lunch, and they were in residence, having given my neighbour a fright as they went over.
Depends whether you want to keep bees or not!

Tony, could you link me a good website to look up some information on bees please.

We have 5 hives in an enclosure opposite our plot .I am so frightened of them when they swarm as they have done 4 times already this year whilst we were working on our plot. Even more so since Tony has been stung. Perhaps if I knew more about them I wouldn't be so scared.
