Thymol

I put thymol crystals or a tray of Apiguard into every hive at the allotment today including the remaining hive on the student plot.

The hive on the student plot has been upsetting the plot holders who share the water tap. The bees have claimed that water I don't like to share it. I will have to move them soon.

I also treated and finished inspecting the bees at Old Costessy. I put supers on several of the hives there too.

As I put crystals into Tina's hive I took a quick look at the small cluster of bees there. Tina was still there and had started laying. Maybe I can give her little colony a boost by uniting some brood and bees from the student hive.
