I checked the bees on Thursday and was pleasantly suprised, they’ve still got good stores, spotted the queen, and some brood though she didn’t seem to have much room for laying so I’ve put a super on as I want to feed them some 1:1 syrup as I need to give them a vitagold feed treatment. The bees have been coming in with pollen so that’s a good sign. Hopefully I’ve done the right things as it’s a lot of guess work for a newbie.
The other hives are all oiled now and nicely weathered, I’ve just got to start putting some frames together for the nationals and get the lift built for the Warre………………………any offers????
