They are in and getting used to their new surroundings.
Apparently our bees are from Buckfast stock, they are very calm and quiet.
We both got suited, booted and gloved up ready to transfer them into their new home. Expecting the worst (thousands of them flying allover the place) they were quite the opposite, some came for a sniff then flew away but apart from that there were no drama's.
Hive now closed, we both lay on the lawn for 30 mins just watching them taking mental images of the hive and surroundings so that they would be able to find it again when they come back.
Thats it now for 7 days, we dont touch them. However I will still be spending time at the bottom of my garden watching our new babies do their stuff.
Oh yeah... no stings yet.
