our new bees!

After having a top bar hive for 5 years, I have finally found someone able to supply me with a good swarm of bees, in a professional way (ie, not having to meet someone in a car park and follow them to an undisclosed destination somewhere on the Mornington Peninsula, then more trips in the dark with sheets to get bees. But I digress... ) I found William Rogers, alias "The Bunyip Beekeper", and was able to buy a swarm with queen, safely packaged (for us and the bees) and simple to install. Here, elegant French model La Nelly holds the packaged bees.
