New Bee
For those that have followed my EFB problems!
I've had the bee inspector call today for my 6 week inspection post EFB.
We burnt my EFB infected bees and I chose to restock which then required a six week inspection.
This was done today and there given the all clear and the standstill notice removed.
The bees up until last week had not bothered with the super but when we checked the bees out today they were drawing the super nicely which was a pleasent suprise. But then the bolsom is in full bloom. The bee inspector said they were a well developing colony and looked good for surviving the winter.
I'm really pleased and my faith returned! I have learnt a shed load mainly due to my mistakes and miss guided faith in some of the bee folks out there.
But the big lesson is: Buy nucs locally if in a low risk EFB area.
Many thanks for those that have helped and advised but also to the bee inspector and Bob who restocked me and took the time help me put thing right!
Here's to a pleasant beekeeping future!
