Its been a strange old year so far; the bees were flying on Christmas Day and are currently spending more time out of the hive than in and plenty of pollen is being brought in. All good news and I have plenty of things to do this year. I'm planning to get a couple more hives running and I have been invited to look at a new site which sounds extremely promising !
I've not yet managed to get the now fully dry cedar out of the shed and into the workshop, I keep meaning to practice cutting dovetails to make my 14 x 12 brood boxes but time evades me. I'm also really keen to try out a Snelgrove board this year as the principle sounds extremely sound and should help with my anti-swarm strategy.
