Japanese Onions, Bluebell Road Bees

The day starts with a grey sky although the wind has dropped. By the afternoon the sun did come out for tea and that was nice.

Sowed Japanese onion seed here in a pot.

The evening has probably been the best part of the day. I went back to the Bluebell Road bees and put on a super full of brand new frames (in an old super that has been around all summer waiting to be fixed up). On top of that (above the crown board) I put on a bucket of sugar syrup that will help give them the energy to drawn out a frame or two. They will need several more buckets of sugar before the season is over as I'm hoping that they are not only going to draw out this box of super frames but another brood box of deep frames as well.
