Some of the hives now have a few drones in them.
I have put a frame of drone brood into the three strongest hives at Old Costessy.
The Bowthorpe swarm have made themselves a single queen cell.
It seems to be about time to start thinking of breeding some new queens but as we have had a late start to spring I going to leave it for a few more days before moving any queens out of their hives..
