All for nothing

Due to a motorcycle accident I had on 5th June 2014 I will be unable to look after the bees for quite a time, as I am not well enough on my legs and don't have the core strength to lift heavy things either. This means the bees will run wild until I can look after them again. All my careful planning and work with the queens has therefore been more or less pointless and I have no clue whether I'll be able to extract the honey currently in the supers in any simple way.
Although I always wanted to train up a second beekeeper in the school for situations such as these (not that I anticipated having an accident - I was thinking more of illness or holidays), all attempts to do this failed for one reason or another; schools are busy environments, I guess. My accident has made me realise that it is vital we have one and I hope to have a second soon.
