More jobs from last weekend - one of our hives out at Hester kept being attacked by ants - just on the outside.
Every time we went into it, we had to sweep all the larvae off the outside.

We've moved it back to our place to see if we can shake them off permanently.

Followers will recognise their new location as 'the place we grow the rabbits' 🙄🐰

Im quietly hoping some fluffy butts will get stung so they leave town, but Im not holding my breath 😆

Nothing new to us, but great that beekeepers are getting some coverage!

Rottnest Queens are AMAZING, and $$$$$ (approx $1300 for a SINGLE bee! 😳)

We have access to Rottnest Granddaughters, just as good, a fraction of the price ❤️🐝

Saturdays adventure was relocating a hive for a client.
Earlier in the year, we installed a new hive into this Flow Hive box on a property, and have been watching it thriving away through winter.
The owners needed to relocate it for a while, as they are doing some groundworks nearby.
We have taken it out to our friends property for a month, so that the owners can tidy up the area it usually lives in. Once they have it all finished, we will move it back.

Did you know that bees forage up to 5km from home?

We have moved the hive approx 10km away, so that they don't go back home, cant find their hive, and die off.

Hopefully they will enjoy their holiday at the edge of a Marri forest!

Friday Part 2:

We received a hive a few years ago from a retired beekeeper, and have had it stashed out at Hester. It was quite a large hive (double brood box), so we decided to split it into three. Usually you would just split it in half, but we felt that the population was large enough to manage another one.

We popped the queen into a cage while we did the split, to make sure we didnt squash or lose her, then popped her back into the original hive when we were done.

The other two, now Nucs (half sized hives) were brought back to our place. Hopefully they will both create a new queen - stay tuned!

Friday Part 1:
Our friend has had a weird situation with her hive, we couldn't locate a queen or eggs, so we thought it was dying out. Weirdly, there was still bees going in and out, and bringing in pollen, we just couldn't figure it out.
It was FINALLY warm enough to really get in there and have a look.
We think the original colony DID die out, and a swarm moved in - but into the too box.
Unfortunately, being a flow hive, this is a big problem as the flow cassettes arent designed for brood.
All we could do was shake everyone into the bottom brood box, put the queen excluder on, and pop the Flow super back on. We couldn't find the queen, so we will go back in a week or so to see if we can spot brood in the bottom box, then we just leave the brood in the flow super to hatch and move down.

At least we solved the mystery of the missing queen! ❤️👑🐝

Thank goodness the weather turned it on today, for our Intro to Beekeeping Course.

10 enthusiastic future beekeepers came along to Hive HQ to learn about the life cycle of bees, equipment, PPE, hive management and how to light a smoker, before we headed off to open up and inspect one of our hives.

The Drone Ranger did most of the talking, as the Queen Bee was wiped out by a nasty cough, and was ably supported by the Queen Queen.

Next Course is 22 November, tickets still available- see our FB events or website for bookings
