After that we traveled back to the bus and waited for the others.When everyone got back we safely traveled back home.

While we were on camp- 8th Dec
The hive was examined for APD- American Foulbrood. this wasn't completed because there was no caped broods. the queen is there for not laying well-so the hive is to bee re queened-this will happen tomorrow on 12th Dec when the new queen will be added (after the old queen is killed) we will not be able to enter the hive for one month. varroa stripes where taken out- confermed that there are no varroa mites in the hive
