Furgle's bees, Allotment 83, Permaculture Society allotment

Furgle's hive has successfully requeened and one of the two nuc boxes produced a laying queen.

There are three swarms on my allotment. Two (Little Lauren and the North Walsham bees) have laying queens. The allotment swarm near the aconites was still queenless and has now a frame of eggs from the WBC hive to make queen cells with.

Both the Greengage hives have requeened - that's Bill's Greengage and my Greengage 83. I gave Greengage 83 a treatment of thymol.

Out of the three hives on the students Permaculture Society allotment two of the three have new laying queens.
