So The two hives that have bees in were set up very quickly last year when we caught the swarms.
The weren't quite level or completely stable though. Nothing much, but enough to annoy me.
I decided that as it was cooler and the bees were all in their hives I would put some slabs down and try to get them level and stable.
I made three spots for two full hives and one empty one. I moved the one hive, just a few feet back, but the bees were not happy about it! So I've left moving the second one until I'm suited and giving them their treatment for varroa in a few days time, no point up setting them too much.
It's a really nice area in the coppice where they are, and I think they should thrive there next year hopefully.
