Waking up in the sun.

Having had some pleasantly warm days of late the hives have shown activity with bees out foraging. I've had a look through the clear crownboards and hefted. The clusters are spreading out but the hives are too light for comfort so I've added trays of fondant over the feed holes. I'll keep the weight of the hives under review in case the present weather turns back to cold and the expanding colonies use up their stores before foraging becomes sustainable.
