The Kerry Hive has been owned.
After nearly a month of threatening to do so, our strongest hive swarmed today. With great huzzah, thousands of divas escaped the hive and took to the sky like buzzing parade day confetti. They formed a cluster on a nearby tree and called thousands of their sisters to join the party.
And then they changed their mind.
Whether the queen refused to join them, or couldn’t because her wings were clipped, we’ll never know.
All we can say for certain is that everyone returned home for the night and that we’ll likely be on swarm patrol again tomorrow.
