On checking the hives yesterday I found one that had over wintered as brood and a half (national brood with a super) and was absolutely pouring out of the hive, I’m sure the colony is bigger now than it was at the end of last season! Both the brood box and the super were full of brood and stores, so I added another super. Seems quite early: Has anyone else any colonies that seem to be doing well?
In the same apiary I had one colony lost with stores remaining so I assume it was the cold, and another that I need to give extra feed.
