All looks fab!
Many hours to be spent watching them , if you are anything like me (poor you if you are )
I looked in on my girls - all looking good, Attila is easy to find with that mighty red blob on her back.

The queen excluder is back where it should be now and they have started to 'draw' out the super! happy Sueie!

If the girls are happy so am I

Think the weather is going to be much better this week! just what your bees will love!

Congratulations Crichmond!!! happy days!

Removed the tape and the supers yesterday and had a very quick inspection without removing any frames, all seems well and they are foraging nicely.
Being inspected today by the bee inspector, and will transfer the girls into my nice new national hives later this week.

Good news Crichmond!! Looking good. :-)
And glad super frames being drawn now HF.

Weather is indeed looking fantastic for the next week. Our girls are pulling pollen in like no tomorrow, and all colours too importantly. Think there's still good forage around, although on inspection yesterday, not much sealed honey yet. (we were more focussed on transfering a brood frame to the ill hive than searching for sweet stuff though).

Come on the girls!!!!!

Just had the inspection by the bee inspector, and he gave the all clear.
no problems except a little bit of chalk brood which he said was nothing to worry about.
He also said that the hives were strong enough and had enough stores to put supers on in the hope of some honey this year, maybe get a couple of frames.

Thats great news!

Happy days sure enough
