Permaculture UEA swarm 2007 queen

I moved the Permaculture UEA 2007 swarm queen (Zigga) out to the country on the 2nd and today went into her hive to make up nucs from her many queen cells. The bees did not like that at all (maybe the fact that it was very windy didn't help) and stung John and some of the other altment holders. I think all of Zigga's bees need to moved out of the allotment site and replaced now.

The swarm from the Laburnham tree is still in it's brood box.
