Moving a bee hive



The current winter storm may have dumped a huge quantity of snow on us but it has given us the opportunity to move the hive we put onto the Whinnies Community Garden last year. The volunteers who run the garden asked us to put a hive where everyone can see it. Since then, they have fenced off an area into which they now want the hive moved. The cold snap we are experiencing now means we can move the hive knowing that the bees will all be in it and will not be leaving it until the warmer weather arrives. In the end the job was much quicker than we expected.
