First Swarm Sweep Stake!

Not sure if this was decided, if not my local BKA Facebook page has a report of a swarm yesterday, with photos, North Yorkshire.

Nope. I’m sure Ian meant a swarm collected by or from one of our members. Reading about one somewhere doesn’t count

 

[simonwig]

Not that it matters to me, but that's not what others suggested earlier.

Take a punt and have a guess when the forum gets its first report of this season.

Is this swarm from a forum member or any one that happens to get posted on Facebook or the like?

Anywhere I guess

I stand corrected.

Ok I’ll take Simons report of a swarm on the 7th as verifiable. So I’ve gone through the dates people picked and it’s Stephen T who’s picked the 7th. Pargyle picked the 8th!….Any want to correct me before I mail him.

 

[Erichalfbee]

Phew. I thought you were going to let a moderator win for a second there!
Well done Stephen.

Well done Stephen.

Just as well .... I'd have been accused of inside knowledge or witchcraft if I'd won !

 

[Erichalfbee]

Or taking bribes

Or taking bribes

More likely offering bribes !

Daft. Yes that’s what I meant … doh!

It’s nice to win a competition and thanks to Ian123 for the queen I’ll get in due course. Always room for another hive in the garden

In fairness luck had nothing to do with it I saw your location and thought it may save postage!

Damn, 2.5 weeks too late to win. Had to do the 1st artificial swarm of the season today!
