Have bought and built hive no 2 for Queen Boadicea!
I will now need to put my name down for a swarm, though they say it's a very poor year for swarms- not many about!!
I am worried about hive No 1 Queen Attila, just hope the inspector was right and that they will have reared 'Tilly 2 she should be hatching about now and looking for the boys! (drones) to mate with.
The weather is so poor that I wonder if I should feed my girls? un-heard of this time of year with all the rape in flower, but I can't have them go hungry, the thought is just to awful.
But, with a new queen on the way I must try not to disturb them....poor little bees. What to do for the best????? worry, worry, fret, fret.
