Finished off another 2 triple hive stands - design is perfected now, and then went out to 3 of the apiaries to check on activity - and popped on some Candipollen (Italian stuff) to keep the bees going in the upcoming unsettled weather....it might seem like spring but it's still only early March !
Some of the OSR around is starting to really grow - reckon it's about 3 weeks before it starts flowering before it goes hell for leather in April.
And also found a new outlet for honey - they were so positive and excited unlike some outlets who seem to put all sorts of blockers in one's way to stock honey. Went back this evening to drop some stock in.
Plenty to do either end of this week - am collecting a batch of 2nd hand hives on Friday which will need repairs and scorching as well as prepping for the expansion plans.
