Greetings all,
Just returned from 10 days in France (Sunday) to find our eldest daughter
(27) in hospital in Yorkshire, so quite busy for a couple of days, but all
sorted now.
Before we went to France, the temperature was cool to say the least, so I
was reluctant to delve into the brood box, I just put an extra super on as
we have a number of rape seed fields close by and honey production seemed to
be in full swing! On checking the hives this morning I find that both have
swarmed, there is a much reduced population which will hopefully build up
again.
I am a little cross that the ungrateful little buggers have upped and left
while my back was turned, having mollycoddled them over winter, but I have
to smile thinking that someone else may end up with my 'flying Tigers'
Any others to add to the swarming list??
