Zigga, Misty

I went out to the countryside to pick up swarm this morning. It is now in a brood box on the allotment next door but one to the WBC. If there is a laying queen she will be called 'Cherry'.

Furgle's queen has gone in a nuc to Essex.

I don't want to let Misty go and have sited the nuc that she in on the station near the path in the allotment apiary.

Zigga (the UEA swarm queen of 2007) has now gone into semi retirement . I have taken her to a country village and sited her in Bob's back garden.

I also took Zigga's daughter out of the single brood box to make up a nuc.
