I had a quick check today and 2 of mine were low on stores so i had to remove the supers they were drawing and give them a drop of syrup. It`s surprising what they`ve eaten being stuck in for a week.
 
just seen the forecast for this week on Countryfile and it looks like more of the same but colder overnight :chillpill:
 
And snow for Scotland and northern England.....never mind,soon be midsummer.
