Well you asked for it - I'm not sure these are in anyway flattering to my delightful figure but the bee's don't seem to mind I look like a giant green pea with a bee veil on - so here's the pictures

What well behaved bees, they don't look at all fussed by being moved about (and what a nice new hive, mine are all so fifth hand that I'd forgotton that its possible for two parts to fit together neatly )

Great pix, Jo. Thanks for posting them.

I thought the neighbour looked very cool about it all as you are both protected and he is just in a tshirt

Excellent pictures - really inspirational. Did any of the neighbours voice any concerns about you keeping bees?

Wonderful! I am deeply envious. Are the bees having a bit of a brush down in the bottom pic?
