Same here - weather appaling today and worse forecast tomorrow, better monday then more showers...
When they do get out they are on the last of the cherry and start of the apples. Hawthorn just starting to bloom in the allotment hedges.

Same here but tomorrow is gonna be 16˚
Then they have sycamore, cherry, horse chestnut and fields of dandelion as far as the eye can see.

Sugar, and the ones that haven't got much pollen in the boxes Neopoll too. Interesting to see how much they prefer Neopoll to fondant. Shame it is so much more expensive.

sorry just got my first hive so dont think of me as being stupid but when you say fed sugar is that syrup or just put plain sugar in a bowl on the crownboard
