Me and my gentle bees a 'few years ago. They know they are in good hands and realize I believe that I am helping them locate to a new home! |

A small swarm of my bees, captured in the Spring, which ' landed' in the middle of a Bamboo plantation in my garden.
After cutting them free, I placed them into a new hive. NB: Notice the solitary bee on my hand (photo below), fanning it's wings and dispersing a pheromone, signalling to other bees that the Queen bee is present! |

As can be seen they were very docile and I received no stings. The colony survived and all being well, will produce surplus Honey for some years to come! |
