Queen cells

Arkle and finn walked with company in the cool haar environment.

Headed east to blip royalty to check bees. First bait hive looks queenless but a colony had moved into hive underneath with brood so merged them together with a queen excluder and newspaper.

Hive had swarmed and all queens hatched, so need to wait to see if we gave a mated queen. Took 6 frames of honey off to extract.

Home and cut grass , planted on rosemary cuttings and made dinner.

Eco gran up for food and we watched tennis together.

Dropped eco gran home and headed west to out apiary with boy dogs.

A quick walk gir dogs and tied to a tree so I could put clover ekes on for cut comb. Checked 2 queenless hives and they gave brood 

Dogs walked and home.
