It helps to have an idea of numbers, but if you're not sure say so. Generally
one out of two "maybes" comes so that does help planning 8)
I'm at the out-apiary now, checking & adding shade to the hives. Here's another
picture. Loads of goose feathers lying around, so if you come remember to look
for some (bee brushes).

Sounds great - will aim to come but it's a busy weekend so may not be able to.
Do you need to know for certain in advance for any reason?
Thanks
