I removed the crop from my 5 colonies, but there was hardly anything. I got around 5lbs of cut comb and about 25lbs of extracted honey. All hives had made serious inroads into their stores - a couple had a third super on, but they had consumed pretty much everything. I have now started feeding all colonies, and I've noticed that the ivy is just about to flower - the flower heads are out and just need to pop open.
What a dreadful year!
