New bees (my friend Alex with box of bees )

Having lost my colony of bees last year, I was over the moon when my friend and bee keeper rang me to say there was a swarm in his neighbours garden. I stopped work and buzzed over to where they were and we successfully managed to collect them. Now in my top bar hive at home. Happy days :-)
