Another Cast

The swarm in the tree wasn't the last this week- a cast issued from the same hive 2 days later! These bees had nowhere to go- so they were collected and put back into the hive they had come out of to sort them selves out! I removed the queen excluder to give them more room, checked through to try and find if there were any queen cup and then emptied them straight in the top. Some didn't make it so I put up a ramp and shook them on to it so they could all march in- and they did!!
