Title: My Bees Have Arrived....
Post by: Chantenay on May 31, 2007, 12:08:58
and I would like to show you a photo but I can't work out how to do it (and I have paid, honest!). The first swarm scarpered within 48 hours - I think it was the nasty sharp varroa inspection floor, so I put a nice old fashioned wood floor in, and the second swarm have been there for nine days so I think they will stay. I have fed them, but apart from that I am told to do nothing for three weeks. Sort of radical non-intervention? Is that correct?
