Urgent call to all beekeepers – shortage of stores!

We are getting reports of colonies being found short of stores, due to the variable weather making foraging difficult, combined with growing colonies having more mouths to feed.

We strongly recommend therefore, that you check your colonies to make sure they have adequate stores and take the appropriate action if they are found to be light.
