I had a look through my remaining two colonies today and am pleased to say they are stuffed with brood, both on commercial brood boxes and have six and seven frames of brood.
I found one queen easily as it was marked last year but didnt see the other.
The remaining frames are full of stores and they both have a chunk of fondant above.
Chuffed to bits after losing two earlier in the year.
I got stung on the leg through my jeans and an hour later my grandson was stung on the chest, he was nowhere near the hives, about 60 metres away.
He is only four and after he had stopped crying he told me "it wasnt one of ours grandad cos they only sting when you bother them" with that he went out to show off his battle scars.
A scary moment though.
