Occasionally see cells with black pollen in but more than usual this year . Some have more than this one . This is taken after I have heated the cappings with a hot air gun and before extraction just in case you wondered

Poppy I think eric, do you have them in your garden growing, also I’ve seen poppy fields around and headlands of fields with mixed wildflowers.
By the way I see there are a few acres of borage in fields near Ludlow.... Might be worth a hive or two!

And caynam which is closer - no thanks I won’t be moving any bees near or two mono crops that are sprayed any more.
I saw photos of them nr Ludlow but they are owned by the earl of Plymouth estate and they have loads of hives
