H is for hawk

Walked juno early round the hill.

Cut some ply into hive size for an outer skin for hives during winter.

Headed to out apiary. Put a nuc into a hive no gloves no smoke. Good bees. That was the story of inspection. 2 mated queens I the apidea do they will be going into queenless hives.

Spotted another cast swarm , caught it off the branch and put it in a nuc.

Home and dinner.

Food shop.

Evening walk and bed.

The laird found this sparrowhawk dead on the road must have been hit. Sad as we had captured it being fed by adults on trap camera at a plucking post I found in the woods.
