  1. You get out what you put in. It's not hard work but they need looking in on a regular basis.Health checks and varroa treatments. Swarm control, emergency feeding, record keeping etc There's a bit more to it than putting bees in a box and leaving them to it. Beekeepers in my area have struggled this year due to the wet weather and the prolonged June gap. The bees haven't been able to get out to forage and the plants haven't yielded sufficient nectar. This has led to feeding the bees more than usual. I had two newish colonies suffer badly as they had no stores. My larger colonies tucked into
  2. I have missed rook and carrion with a male gos even with mugging them, A harriss has one chance and we know what that is. haha
  3. I made a split from a calm colony and introduced a laying Queen into a 6 frame Nucleus , she was released from the cage on Saturday, the bees are calm so the candy plug option was not needed which would have meant another 3days in there for HRH.. happy days. The test frame from a nice colony placed in to a laying worker colony has one and only one Queen cell drawn from young brood, if this emerges and mates i will put the lottery on. This is a very aggressive colony note the little darlings guarding the Queen cell.
  4. Where you been you fanny? Cheers, D.
