Where did Summer go?

[wbchive]

Do you think it's all over? There are miles of beautiful, purple heather between Bingley and Ilkley and the bees can't get up there because of the cold/wind/rain. What a pain!

I thought we were expecting a high pressure for the weekend... Roola!

Is your glass half empty or half full?

'It is not over until the fat lady sings', so they say.

Of course not! September is often a month of glorious weather. Talk about defeatism. Not looking more than a day or two ahead is not good - all beekeepers need to be looking ahead at least until the next inspection date (do they have enough stores to last until then?) and many look much further ahead.

Not really thinking either, unless the heather would be spewing out loads of nectar in very cold conditions, there would be nothing to collect even if the hives were amongst it.

That's my route to work, over Hawkesworth Moor. I've been wondering about asking Harvey Smith if he's got a horse free corner where I could put my hives.

Summer was a glorious lime harvest, autumn is eating it!

My favourite rendition of this conundrum...

If there is Erdinger in it, it will be empty pretty dam quick !

Good luck with that. You may get the famous response.

Something too small for a G&T I use a tankard.

 

[Hawklord]

Whats heather, mine are still going good on the balsom?

He'll probably tell you to F**k off (in his usual endearing way that is.)
