It was just amazing. They were worried the queen wouldn't leave in which case the bees wouldn't go but once they started going into the box in their 1000's they knew the queen must have been in there. The lady came about around 8pm and they were all in there having a well earned rest. She just wrapped the box in the cloth it was resting on and took them off to their new hive. She is going to send photo's when they are settled in and hopefully next year we will have honey from one of their hives.

What with that and the cat catching the bird it is very stressful, so much easier if we didn't give a damn about wildlife.
