Managed to capture this bee collecting propolis from the feed of a nuc. Fascinating how it quickly passes the propolis from the front legs to the pollen baskets on the rear legs. Propolis is used to glue holes and seal the hive. #bangorapiaries #bees #propolis #sticky
Lovely to see the girls making the most of a brief spell of sunshine π

This weather has finally warmed up enough to get the bees thinking about swarming. This is a clip of bees scouting out a new home before they swarm from their current location. Fingers crossed they move in soon.

The bees are loving this warm sunshine after two horrible wet days. ππ #bees #bangorapiaries #sunnydays
Little swarm turned up this afternoon looking for a new home but I donβt think they realised it had been occupied on Friday. Needless to say a quick hunt around for a spare box saw them hived quite quickly. Guess I wonβt be needing the patio any time soon. Love watching a swarm turn up ππ
Excuse the poor camera work (iPhone whilst in Beekeepers gear) but thought Iβd show you some of the frames the bees are working on this spring. Their nicely building up for the main flow. Donβt forget they need those dandelions in your lawn at this time of the year. Enjoy the sun and keep safe everyone π
Looks like a swarm will be on its way soon. Lots of interested scouts looking for a new home, fingers crossed they pick my bait box.
The girls are loving this sunshine! βοΈπ
