| Operation 'STING' - Move Tom Wink's six hives from the allotment apiary in West Wickham to a new site in Orpington. Three hand picked men help! |
| The tape used to seal the entrances had fallen away some bees where flying! |
| Two hive straps fitted on each hive |
| Who we looking at? |
| These home made screens should prevent the bees over heating. |

| Ready to lift the hive? |
| It would be a HOT day to move bees. |
| That's the first hive loaded on the trailer. |
| Excellent hive straps |

| Have you taken the photo yet Tom? this hive is heavy! |
| Loaded and ready to drive the 4 miles to Orpington |
