Beekeeping doesn't always go as planned. The swarm we caught with the help of Johnny Dickerson on Easter weekend was a strong and busy hive.

They settled in quickly to their new hive This is what we found inspecting the next weekend.

Lesson - make sure you put the correct number of frames in the box if you want to be able to easily inspect the hive😂😂😂

The queen bee is a fascinating insect. She is the mother of all the bees in hive, responsible for laying all the eggs that will become female worker bees and male drones. She lives her life inside the hive, attended by worker bees who groom and feed her.

A hive frame or honey frame is a structural element in a beehive that holds the honeycomb or brood comb within the hive enclosure or box. The hive frame is a key part of the modern movable-comb hive. It can be removed in order to inspect the bees for disease or to extract the excess honey.
