Postwick apiary visit

Another sunny day. I have been leaving the bees alone to get on with making ivy honey in the sunny weather we have been having for the last few days but today I did visit my Postwick apiary.

The last time I visited Postwick was just over a week ago

Today I checked every hive except two for laying queens. The box that had not managed to breed a laying queen on my last visit still hadn't. So I put those bees into the hive next door.

All hives except two now have entrance blocks and mouseguards. And all except two had an application of Thymol crystals put along both end of the central frames.

All would like more feeding.
