Unfortunately, our old hive perished over the winter. We have since found two new hives to cherish and so this is one of the first inspections of the season… with many more to come. We hope you all welcome the new bees with love ❤️. P.S. spot the queen bee in pictures 8 & 9!!!
 
All shades of pink and purple met in the Cambridge sky last night, and so many gathered on the Back Lawn to try to capture it on camera. 😍 Thank you for sharing the moment with us, keep tagging the College in your posts and fingers crossed the show will continue tonight! #northernlights #cambridgecollegelife 📷 by @_sjnl
