Twelve days ago the swarm seen below was captured and deposited into a bare top bar hive, encouraged with a few jars of sugar water feed and closely watched. All is well it seems

The largest load of pollen yet seen |
 |
My hive follows the innovative shape found here. Five combs snugly shaped to conserve warmth: Cathedral Hive.. Since this observation and now at the 15th August I see two further combs started and the first five expanding outward to the opposite side bar (the east side).. |

Pollen and nectar being laid down for the winter |
