WE'VE BEEN FREELY CHOSEN! This hive sat empty for just over a year, since the last ones absconded. I found yesterday that some other wild #bees have moved in. 🥰🐝🍯 This is such good news! By far the easiest capture to date. 😅 #beekeeping
Feral bee swarm update: Kid installed the bees, but either they didn't get dumped hard enough, or they didn't like it and eventually absconded. 😭 I didn't lock them in bc I didn't want them to stay if something was wrong with the hive, I'd rather them leave and survive. We still have them coming and getting sugar syrup/bee food that I put in, but the swarm left. ☹️ Maybe next time. Fun adventure while it lasted. Now we have somewhere to put them immediately, if we ever get another chance. 😅

Any other beekeepers.have any ideas on anything useful to do with old, dirty wax? (So far, our choices are to attempt to compost it, and to throw it away). #beekeeping
