At about 2:30 today I noticed a large cloud of bees around the hive, their sound was pretty loud and I thought they were mad about something, but I couldn't tell what might have upset them. They kept buzzing around for almost an hour before settling down again.
4 drones
orange pollen and yellow pollen.
Today's weather was mixed sun/cloud this morning but it broke out into a lovely sunny afternoon.
The thermometer is currently showing 20C but im sure its much warmer in the sunshine.
Oh dear, I hope they're not going to swarm... I don't think they should, since they still have lots of room! Strange. Keep an eye on it if you see it again... Watch for the queen, I hope she in laying, not getting ready to hit the road.
