Dec. 23rd, 2008 09:16 pmSpouse has developed an interest in bee-keeping and has been attending a series of talks on it (I went to one that he had to miss on 'Bee Health') and was given a book for his birthday last week. He just read me this bit...
'...a good method of carrying a swarm rather than a cardboard box (which can collapse under their weight) cover them with a cloth and then tie up the corners. They are fine being transported by car, but put them on the front seat as the boot may be hot and smell of petrol. Don't worry if one or two escape into the car, they will be more concerned than getting out, than bothering you......'
