Last bit of crazy foraging.

Both colonies going crazy at lunchtime today, foraging like it might be their last chance this year.

Temperature was only 12 C so a pretty good effort, I thought. Couple of bees leaving each second from Colony 1 (!).

I think they know the temp is on its way down and the Ivy cant wait..

Checked mine today and they really are going for it as well.

At 1pm today whilst the sun was shining my bees were all over a field of broccoli that gone to flower, a nice bit of late forage for them.

Is broccoli like OSR in terms of nectar charateristics?
