Banba's Brood













Swarm Alert!! Today a swarm of honeybees was spotted traveling in a westerly direction along the track opposite the garden. Immediate panic set in - had Banba & the girls decided it was time to move to larger accomodation? A hive inspection revealed that in fact our colony is thriving, the frames are full of brood, pollen & baby bees. We discovered one suspected Queen Cup which on inspection proved to be an empty play cup. What a relief!
