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 ________________________________ From: riseholmebees-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:riseholmebees-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Pickard Sent: 30 April 2010 16:44 To: riseholmebees@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [riseholmebees] FW: [Fwd: Stolen Bees] For info From: Celia Smith [mailto:sec.lincsbka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 30 April 2010 12:44 To: Jacqui Holden; John Goodhand; peterchinawind@xxxxxxx; Paul Raynor; Andy Blackburn; Julian Drewett; Terry Davies; Jess Jones; Gill Smith; Rick Keracher Subject: [Fwd: Stolen Bees] 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 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Stolen Bees Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 04:50:35 EDT From: Julieawoods@xxxxxxx To: julian.drewett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, celia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, paulandcaroleraynor@xxxxxxxxxxx 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.
