Having returned home from York beekeepers auction I inspected all hives with No 7, the weak hive showing increase following the addition of the frame of brood last week. I gave it another frame of brood to aid in continuing its development.
No 6 has not yet developed sufficiently to add a super but 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 now have supers and the Hawthorn is in bloom. The eating apples are finishing their bloom but the Bramley cooking apple trees are still blooming. Foraging traffic is heavy during favourable spells of weather.
