A Short Video

Here is a very short video of me actually doing something :)
This is a warré hive that went queenless following a swarm towards the end of last year. The comb was diagonal across the bars so I decided to straighten them up to allow for easier handling (should I need to) if a swarms moves in. Can't remember if I say so but I hung the outer combs in the middle of the lower (second) box. This provides a ladder to ensure (mmm maybe) the bees move down rather than swarm out once they have filled the top box.
