Allotment bees

The weather is still warmer than one would expect for this time of year and the bees are still very active.

Most, but not quite all, of the allotment bees have finished the food I gave them (on the 8th) and I have removed the empty buckets. I will give the swarm hives another inspection maybe tomorrow as I want to be sure that the brood is on frames in the center of the box and not positioned off to one side of the brood box. The hive on Furgle's plot also had an empty bucket on.

George has reported back that his new bees are flying fine.
