I don't have any problems with the forum's built in picture viewer on my mobile. Clicking anywhere on the image thumbnail opens it in the viewer. Haven't checked the desktop yet though.

Oh dear - ragwort honey isn't so tasty. I always try to take any honey off before they get onto it and leave them that as stores for winter - mind you there is plenty of it where I am. smaller quantities may not be toooo bad.

The nectar is thin though.. It all helps I suppose.
I'll check the ivy but three apiary don't have it locally.

This colony are starting to kick there drones out, bringing in gorse pollen, and defending there keep!
They are drying nectar by the sounds of it, hive hefted heavy so no feeding for this colony.
