As above Bees very active over the last few weeks. To our horror there was about 15 big stripey Slugs ahhh, removed and killed. Plenty of bees, good natured, good build up of capped and uncapped stores. No Queen, two thirds of brood Drone, no eggs. One Queen cell in middle top of frame bees polishing it. She was a new Queen when original swarmed last year. Plenty of Drones in hive. No old Queen cells . Getting prepared for A/S to increase our apiery reading up thro winter but pity bees can't read.
