I took my two dogs out for a last trip into the garden before bed. The air was still and warm, the stars were out and at 12.35 am I was still hot wearing only a t shirt and shorts. It was dark and without using my torch I walked towards the beehives and I could hear them plainly but softly acting out their roles as air-condioning units. There was a low, gentle hum and I could hear [what was I suppose] the slight rushing of air as they cooled their hive.
They can be nasty little beasts but coming into beekeeping has opened up a new world of wonder; I feel quite blessed.
