Gets home this evening to find an incoming swarm has ignored the three 6 frame nucs filled with old brood frames, a national filled with old brood frames...and instead they have moved into an ashforth feeder that was almost covered by a crown board, a varroa floor insert and a brick. If they had flown just 8 inches lower they could have hived themselves in a perfectly good brood box.
(The ashforth feeder/crownboard/varroa insert was a makeshift roof for a spare national and floor at the top of a stack of spare supers and brood boxes)
What happened to 'lets leave en-masse and find a new home of about 40 litres capacity' ?
