Bees out and about today with a few foraging on the winter wallflowers, god know what they where gathering though.
theres a bit of gorse still flowering ive seen wallflowers flowering in jan before. they were up against a house though. nice to have a brake from the freezing weather.. for us and the employed
Hobbled up to the hives this afternoon as one had blown over in the wind,rabbits had undermined one leg. Lucky the hive stayed together as it was strapped, still a struggle to put it back up as I'm still recovering from a broken fibula and can't do great deal.
Almost the only time that i see my bees in the garden is when the snowdrops are out as was the case on Monday. I normally have 3-4 hives in the garden plus the odd nuc. They seem to appreciate the early pollen.Plenty of Gorse here in flower and also snow drops but i have never seen the bees on snowdrops to date..
