Thank you to all who came today to help with the work on the new apiary.

We first checked on the fondant and discovered that most of the colonies needed topping up, all sorted! If you haven’t checked your own bees for a while, we’d suggest you do ASAP, it was amazing how much fondant they had got through in the last month.

We also moved quite a lot of equipment into the storage boxes in the new site, the storage units work very well indeed.

The major piece of work today was putting up the screens on the fencing to encourage the bees to fly up and over any footpaths. Haven’t today’s volunteers done a wonderful job?
