Arrival of the bees
The bees arrived, delivered by Peter in part of an old brood box (the bees, that is, not Peter). There are around 30,000 of the little buzzers, on ten frames.
We spent a few minutes arranging the new hive, ready to receive the new tenants.
Bearing in mind we had full bee suits on, Peter said, "When I open this, run!"
