My waters are telling me.....

[Haughton Honey]

.....that next week things are going to go BOOM around these parts.

Warmer temps forecast, hawthorn in bud, blackthorn about 3-4 days from peak flowering, OSR due out within the next five days to a week.

Could take a lot of us by surprise methinks and I expect to start getting the usual swarms calls by the back end of next week.

We'll see.

I truly hope so............. its not been a very good....ummm 3 YEARS!

 

[Bates]

I hope you are right, shame OSR our way is not looking anywhere near as promising.

I'm with WPC/HH on this issue ... which is exactly why my bait hives went out last weekend

They would not be catching any swarms from my bees!!
