I wonder if I could offer some explanatory ideas on the terminology of
beekeeping for those who are new to the game? Recently we have had terms like
apiary, hive, etc used to describe (I think!) the actual bees. I would say
that beekeepers have a colony of bees who occupy a hive which stands in their
apiary. The colony might swarm (verb) and the group of bees leaving and
forming a cluster would be called a swarm (noun) until it is 'hived' when it
becomes a colony in its own right. Is that helpful?

Hi Karl,
My husband has just got a hive to transfer to his warre, his first bees and
I’m awaiting for my first bees for my horizontal top bar.
So you could say that I have bees and not or half....
I can’t handle the warre at all as I can’t do any heavy lifting so this is
why I will be having them in a hTBH.
Paul should have added me to latest list he sent in the East section but I
wasn’t there in the previous list.
Thank you for taking my number.
Best
Magalie

Hi Magalie,
I’ve made a note of your number.
Looking at my list you don’t appear under East Oxfordshire or any of the
other areas.
Do you currently have any bees?
Do you have a hive ready?
It’s because I’d like my next swam to go to a person/home that doesn’t
have any bees.
Thanks for your request.

A lovely day for one of my hives to swarm, captured and boxed early
afternoon.
Telephoned people on the priorities list-those without bees but no one
answered.
Eventually working my way through the list I got an answer and this
prime swarm went to Brian & Faith in Summertown.
Bee close to your phones peoples as it’s swarm time!
I’ll hoping to have another swarm from the third buzzing hive soon !!
