Exactly - my preferred site was overruled but I was desperate as I'd just been given a nuke without any notice. I was going to move them this spring... Seems nature had other plans.

trapperman 474 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Had my bees a few years now (although I have lost interest a little) but I have found they do better in a bitter winter All this mild weather has them out and flying with nothing to forage Were the stores they had left rock solid? As I've had this before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
