The bees in most of our colonies have been busy....
In face we may have more developing queen cells than we know what to do with....so it was great timing that we had enjoyed two club night presentations on swarm control in preparation for performing an artificial swarm.
it feels like we've had more than our fair share of cold and wet Saturday classes but we have managed to use every sunny moment to get out and inspect the hives thoroughly...
And with so much going on in the hives we've been making copious hive notes...
So its not just the bees that are busy in May!
