The hive is in!

Prepared the frames and assembled the hive on site. Bit of a heave getting all the gear there - tramped across the field and then realised that the gate would have been nearer! Chose a good spot I think. Took the strimmer and cut down the new bracken around it and also cleared the entrance to the site a bit. Levelled the ground and laid 2 large bricks with a milk crate on top. Think I might remove the crate and stand the bricks on their side with the hive on them - I think it will be more stable. Hoping to get a swarm from somewhere now - weather been cold still but due to warm up this week. Let's see!
