    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Saw the doctor this morning, apparently I satisfy more than what is required for further investigation. Have to have training how to use an epi pen, have to wait a month for a blood test if that proves positive I am then referred to an immunologist!!!!! Just for a blinking sting which was my...

    That's a good suggestion taking a tablet before rather than after the event. Waiting on a call from the doctor as my foot is up like a balloon, may need a stronger antihistamine. Thank you

    I have a vein running across one of the bones in my foot and I'm convinced it went into that. Had stings before, hand etc small reaction but nothing like this

    Hive survival over winter

    At the moment all five colonies out and about when the sun briefly shines!!!! Had four hives all flying going into spring last year, we were delighted until the first inspection, two of those were drone laying, never know what's going on until inspection.

    Side benefits

    We had two colonies that had really bad chalkbrood. Advice from the forum said to wait to see if it sorted itself out. One of the hives needed to be requeened, no problem after, the other improved with no action needed
