Truly a wonderful experience, we only ever had swarming here about twenty-five years ago, now with human progress we never see them looking for new homes, although we still have many in the garden.
Filling up the box was fortunate, happy home sharing with bees on the dwelling @buckaroobaby
It really is a wonderful experience @joanstewart! It saddens me how easily people will errdicate bees. We even had (I'm happy to say HAD) a farmer in the area who poisoned all the bees in his orchard. He really can't be very clued up. You can imagine the outcry
Very annoying how many hives are raided and ruined by theft, farmers should welcome bees by not using any chemicals, bees should be protected in every way possible.
Watching them arrive is a grand occasion, glad the homed into your property now you can enjoy the fruits of the labour.
