This will be a nerve racking few days for us all - hopefully, when we open the hive in a week's time we will be rewarded with evidence of newly laid brood and a sighting of Diana with her distinctive golden crown. She is a descendant of the celebrated Buckfast Abbey Bees of Brother Adam. These bees are revered for their gentle nature and contentment. They are renowned for their predilection to settle happily in one place as opposed to the nomadic nature of some honey bees who love to swarm. We await the outcome with baited breath!
