Hi Steve,

 

Forgot to send a picture the other week of the difference between stores and
capped brood, so hopefully the picture has attached of a frame of capped
brood (brood is always a dark browny colour, and capped stores is normally
white to yellow)

 

Hope your all your bees are doing well, ours here ar eintersting at the
moment as the bees keep killing queens!!! No idea why??

 

Speak later

 

Ben

Please see message below from a Louth member and pass on to all your members
and advise them to be on their guard. Sadly this is the second incident
reported in the county this year.

Yours, Celia

I'm sorry to have to say this, Gary has had one of his stocks of bees stolen
from his apiary on the edge of town in the last week.  It was a strong
colony - across 8 frames, it was obviously someone who knows what they were
doing as they only took the brood body and replaced it with a super so it
was not immediately obvious.

 

It is so sad that fellow beekeepers can act in such a way.  Please can
everyone be vigilant with their own bees.

 

Please feel free to pass this email to your other members as a warning to
protect their stocks.

 

Gary & Julie Woods.
