Does anyone else feel like they are having a bad year so far

[The Riviera Kid]

no body in Leicestershire eats marmite

I spread peanut butter on toast, then the Marmite on top of that, and with chilli sauce drizzled over it. Food of Gods!!

Got wabbies buzzing around in general but so far they are not bothering the hives.

I have a savoury tooth, not a sweet one and prefer Marmite on my toast!

Maybe you should try manooky

Sycamore in flower???
Ours was over a month ago and most got smashed by frost and northerlies
This is the worst start to a season i have had
Finding a lot of v. irritable colonies now too with dozens of follwers hanging on for ages.
Hardly any honey being laid down
Fingers crossed for some decent temps

Our sycamores are in full flower now too, as well as horse chestnut, & hawthorn going well with quite a bit yet to open.

Never mind.....Bramble beginning to open

Its timed perfect for this summer weather were having, & a great nectar flow, i need to extract again soon, the brsmbles are just starting to get their leaves, i spotted some rosebay willow the other day about a foot tall, no sign of balsam yet.

Are you sure you are not confusing the developing sycamore seed heads with its flowers, which are tiny and have long gone in most parts of the country?
If you are not...then i am envious!

Well the bees are all over them, & theres no nectar in seeds so i'm guessing

Sounds as if it might work as a varroa deterrent....

I think it would deter everything

 

[pargyle]

I think it would deter everything

There's one thing I think it would probably create rather than deter ... but lets not go there !

I think it would deter everything

This could explain why I always had a problem pulling women
