UEA Bluebell Road Apiary visit

UEA Bluebell Road apiary visit

After one of the hives was knocked over the over day I wanted to visit the apiary again to check that the trouble hadn't happened again. The hive was still upright and the bees were still near the top of the top brood box and taking the sugar syrup too. I needed a some smoke to get them down and to reposition the frames and in fact I took out an empty shallow frame at the edge.

It was good to see that the bees were taking the food. Maybe it will be time to start feeding them all sugar syrup again soon.
