This apiary is about to get very busy, because today is the day the beginners practical summer course gets up and running....
These folk don't look at all nervous do they?
I'm not sure they all know exactly what they've let themselves in for...
Starting with checking what the bees are taking into the hives...
a quick check of the notes from the last inspection of last year...
A whiff of smoke...
and the roofs are off...
The first frames are levered out...
All eyes down to find the queen!!
Many hands make light work...
The weather was (just about) kind to us and it seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves. Now if we could just ensure that every Saturday is like this from next week till September we'll be alright!
Isn't it lovely to see the apiary busy again?
