    Bee swarm update.
    They appear to have found a more permanent spot for their new hive!

    ...In my goddamn compost barrel! 🤬🤦‍♀️🫠

    Final update (hopefully) on the bee swarm. Yesterday they had left the tree and moved into my compost barrel.
    After talking to the local bee wrangler this morning we were reassured that it would be safe to open up the barrel to hopefully persuade the bees to move out.

    I did just that and found some comb but very few bees. It looks like they had already decided the barrel wasn't suitable. Likely it was too hot for them (it's 90 odd degrees out today).
    I just hope they found somewhere safe and out of human's way for their new home!

    A couple of small pieces of fresh honeycomb, without any honey, on a wooden table.
