My first swarm of the year!! Joy and jubilation, although it was not straightforward, as the branch on which the enormous cluster had settled dropped to the ground ,,,, and the bees were not happy. Then they rejected both the skep and the hive I offered. So I moved the hive into a different place ....of which they approved. If you look carefully, you will see some of them scenting from their Nasonov glands. The fragrance was beautiful and made up for the many stings I received during the initial disaster. After that they behaved beautifully - see follow-up in next video.
