Honeybees

Bobs already there    ( I’m not a joiner   , g&g is the only thing I’m a member of ) . He’s already been roped into help build a shed or something to do with the club. Club doesn’t get together that often as far as I can make out. And something odd has been going on recently, some disturbances in the ranks. As the one and only hive belonging to the club has recently been moved half way across the island? I’m 99% sure one of the matriarchs of the club and bee keeping in general 20+ years experience is waiting in the wings to be our (mostly bobs ) mentor. He’s been in contact with her constantly during this short time of we’re getting bees , we’re not getting bees.

Well done Bob. I'm sure you'll be sorted with a colony next year with a mentor on side. 
Regarding moving the club's hive - not sure if its relevant but hives need to be moved more than 3 miles from their original position to confuse the bees. Otherwise they keep flying back to their old site. Maybe it had to be moved because there was an infection? varroa nearby.
