GW

GW is doing well in Postwick and the bees left behind have settled down well with their new queen but the colony is not big enough to be split in half again this year.

The German queen's bees are still storing sugar syrup away and for the time being they are still drawing out frames of new foundation. If the weather changes and gets colder they may stop making wax and I will start to put in frames that have already been drawn out. I stole two full frames of stores from them today today and put two new ones in to replace them. I will keep a close eye on their feeder bucket and make sure that they never run out of syrup.

Laburnam has been moved to Ringland.
