Today I had the pleasure of checking the bees fondant food. It has been the first day that it has been a pleasure as the sun was out and it was not too cold, although too cold for the bees to fly.
It was really just a quick check of the bees to see they were still alive, which happily they all are and to make sure they all had food and were not too far away from it. A couple of Crown boards were quickly turned so the food was nearer the bees. Apart from Hive 9 which looks a little too weak to survive all were doing okay. Hive 15 will need close eye on as they are a little light and eaten most of their food. Oh for a warm day so we can see what they are really doing!
And to cap of an excellent day, after having dinner in the pub, this evening we had an interesting talk on bee keeping in Mexico,, and of all things stingless bees... can we have some please!
