Cold Spring antidote

[straightman21]

Got so fed up with the cold and reading of lost colonies that I had a look back through the summer posts just to warm me up. Reminded me that we will soon stop worrying about feeding and frosts, and instead it will be queries over swarming, queen cells and supering. Bring it on!

Had a nice week in Egypt at 30C at end of January but just a faint memory now! Seriously starting to look at properties in France as another 12 months like the last lot will just about finish it for me. No veggies planted, no bees to upset, no grass for the sheep. Pah!

But hopefully they still haven't twigged to the full extent of the stealthy recolonisation of our lost province of Aquitaine!

Shhhh you'll give the game away - we have managed to infiltrate the local Council and the Salle de Fete committee so far. The Department (County) Council is next on the list
