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

See photos. This is my out-apiary - a handful of you have visited it
before. We will picnic, set up an empty Top Bar Hive, examine two occupied
TBHs and a wild colony in a tree, discuss out-apiary pros and cons and
generally gossip. There are woods, lakes, and a chest high grass /
wildflower meadow.
More details to follow!
