Good morning readers...
And here is the news
In North Wiltshire there are still more swarms to be had...
A bit tongue in cheek I know, but yesterday I hived the largest swarm I've seen for a long while. Collected from near Cirencester from a pine tree, I hived it last night, popped a spare super on top and fed it with syrup....here's hoping it goes on to produce a surplus as there is still time...
When I was up in the apiary last night around dusk, it was amazing to smell the nectar being evaporated from the 11 hives there, one can almost get high on it...the best stimulant known to man - Nature !
Happy Beekeeping - the weather is due to break this weekend sadly.
