Much the same weather pattern here also for the next week very frustrating..

Captured my third swarm today, but having run out of kit, have housed them in temporary accommodation until a nuc ordered today, arrives.
Had a natter with a local keeper of 50 years experience - he reckons this is the most swarmy season he's known.
I just don't need any more as it's a garden apiary and will be doing a lot of combining later in the year.
.
I made today pollen patty. Whole day and night it has dropped some snow and temps are about zero. Mapples are in full bloom. Bees were not able to pick drinking water to brood.
Do you mean maples or apples?

Set up QR hive with Cloake Board.(2 x 5 frame nucs).
10C with occasional rain. Bees not amused.
Again today I have things that need doing in the apiary but the weather is brutal..frost this morning and snow on the hills.. the Swallows have gone and the only things flying are the resident birds..I dred to think what I will find when I eventually get to check on the colonies..super wise they are ok it is what is going on in the brood box that has me on tender hooks..
