Still in isolation IMO, you're only meeting your bees.
If you can do it in isolation then why not? Unless you have to drive there I guess

In view of the Coronavirus and a high percentage of beekeepers being over the age of the classification of vulnerable . What do you think about tending your bees in an out apiary whilst under orders to self isolate for 12 weeks ?

I was going to say personal choice but are we getting beyond that. If your driving there and back and you have livestock to care for you could justify it. Maybe best to at least try and get another to call in for you.
Bring them home? Not going to be a lot else to do!!

I went look at my home hive today and the girls were enjoying the sun. Out of nowhere, and without pause, one of the girls came straight at me, flew up my nose and stung me before I could blow her out.. That cleared the sinuses I can tell you...

Yesterday we were repairing fence and replacing posts and I was in t shirt. Bees were all around on plums, meadow, etc.. Today snow is falling and I am wearing winter jacket to wind doesn't blow me away.. More snow in next few days.. whole winter there were no significant snow and now it will fall and scorch all the fruit buds and again no fruit for us.. Will wait to see but all people are talking we are done with fruits this season.. Hail to climate changes..
Sunny 17C little wind. Warmest day of the year by 5C
Removed nadired supers, cleaned floors, replaced broken one, checked supers. Fed one hive a little fondant. All munching pollen patties but lots of pollen coming in.
Bees on pond collecting water.
Lovely.
