Starting to buzz

When I visited the site at 2pm today the weather was a little better and in fact the sun was shining. Better still, the bees were flying! Many were buzzing around the entrance; in and out though I was puzzled to see they were focussing their activity on the left side of the entrance. I suppose they’re still orientating themselves at this stage. I was pleasantly surprised by just how many bees I saw. Signs are good, though it’s going to seem like a long wait till the first inspection when I’ll be able to start assessing whether the queen’s present and up and running with egg laying.
