Winter Blues

Well we are deep into spring now, so how did our apiary come through the winter.

There was one loss, early in the year due to a drone layer, another loss in about February, (not enough bees/ no particular reason.  And ??? well "?" because the THREE dates we have been down the apiary so far this year it has been to cold to look at bees correctly, I think two more are unlikely to make it.

Anyway the poor weather has given us chance to do some other activties down at the apiary.  We have done some Nosema tests and found it so are now treating that with Vita Gold as per instruction on the bottle. Praticed getting our sample of bees, done some acetic acid, and lets of talking.
