Solitary bee hive

Took car to check tyre losing air, a nail in shoulder of tyre the issue so new one required.

Local apiary visit to fix shed doors and tidy up.

Lots of old frames ready to get stripped. Shed cleaned and rearranged. Swarm equipment sorted and ready.

Found these solitary bee cocoons in a hive super in the shed.

Took frames and cut wax out at home.

Fixed 3 floors as well.

Vack to apiary with floors and supers, old rotten frames put on burning pile.

Coaching u8s tonight, low numbers so we did shooting. They were brilliant and exceeded expectation.

Dog walk awaits.

Sick hen to deal with.
