Swarm had fallen from a tree

This honeybee swarm had landed on a branch but the high winds had caused the branch to snap leaving the bees stuck on the floor. Honeybees don’t like to fly while swarming so with the tree trunk too far away they struggled to rejoin the swarm.
Gareth arrived and within 5 minutes they were flowing into the new hive and adopted it for their new hive.
We take the box away at dusk when all the foragers have returned and put it in a nearby apiary to care for them.
