We had an interesting time at the weekend, a call out to a colony that we guess was a swarm from last year that had set up home inside the cavity for a street fire hydrant, one which is under the payment with a rectangular metal cover on top. We think someone had gone to open it and got a surprise, which meant that all the combs had become detached and deformed and they were open to the elements. We did our best at transferring what was recoverable and giving the bees something to work with. Will take a while to make it ‘orderly’ however the key thing was to make them safe and relocate them.
