The bee boxes are built and painted and waiting until I find a swarm to make them its home. Q says that there should be one around at the moment, as if they pop up all the time. In any case, if one does I'll be ready to drop it into my newly painted bee box and still have a spare for the next swarm. I think they'll live in the walnut orchard down by the old willow tree which we poisoned last winter.
We used some shiny white marine paint which I have been putting on Papi during his rebuild. The bee box kit came with no instructions and there's a couple of pieces which I'm not quite sure where they go...Maybe I need another trip to the shop to see how it all fits together.
I thought you only need to wear your bee suit when the bees arrive. Style.
