Given the continuing inclement weather and the increasing amount of brood being produced. This is to remind beekeepers everywhere to check their bees for stores (especially nucs), particularly if you didn’t give yours a full winter feed at the end of last season.
So give your hives a heft and if needed, give them some fondant or candy and recheck regularly!
This is also a good time to treat for Varroa while brood numbers are still low.
Hi All
With reference to my earlier post, the weather isn’t looking too good and of course it is also Easter Sunday, (which I confess I had forgotten about). I suggest therefore that we postpone this Sunday’s proposed apiary inspection and reschedule another date in due course.
Many thanks to those of you that have offered to help, it is very much appreciated. Hopefully, you will be available for the next one!
Best regards
Paul
Many thanks to all of you who attended the ‘Beginners’ Beekeeping Course’, which we held on Saturday!
The questions to the presenters, Paul and Linda, came thick and fast and a very keen interest was shown by all.
We look forward to seeing you at the practical training sessions this season.
Nearly Spring….. and time to get the beesuits on.
We can’t wait!🐝
