Old Costessy and Bluebell Road Apiary

I started feeding again today on a damp day that rained on and off all day.

I last visited my Old Costessy Apiary on September 15 and gave them some feed. They hadn't used much of that feed (probably as I had put Thymol in it) so I just topped up the buckets on the four hives. Two of those hives are on double brood and two are on brood and a half. All have entrance blocks but none have mouse guards.

I also gave the two hives at The Bluebell Road Apiary a new bucket of sugar syrup each. Both hives need some attention. One has a roof that has fallen to bits and the other needs re-positioning. Neither has an entrance block or a mouse guard in place.
