    Hi Spruce,

    sorry to here you missed the big event, not sure what hat do you mean when you say they swarmed and took the queen? Does that mean they went looking for a new nest somewhere?

        For goodness sake Hydrogen!
        1) That's Spruce in the white suit in picture 1.A frame of bees (looking smart as new paint) in picture 2 and
        3) another piccie of bees - but out of focus. Spruce is a lot bigger than a bee Hydrogen and he's not wearing any gloves:gaah:
        :ThankYou: Spruce, but I don't think I recognise you in Shineyland from your photo!!
