Wow some of the hives have been busy today in the winter sun. Feeding needs topping up but they are bringing in pollen good sign.

First hive check of the year, very strong hive heavy brood and eggs everywhere. Even managed to see the overwintered Queen 👑🐝. Same every year as to how under prepared I am for the season so much to do

Lost a weak hive over the winter it then was taken over by wax moth. Worst case I have ever seen of wax moth. Seen the odd one in the hive before but not at this level. Needless to say all this went straight into the melting pot. 😢

Looking forward to opening a new apiary site in the Purbeck’s. It must be fate, the new site is called Fancy’s Row named after my great great grandparents family. Ironic how their grandson is now farming the same land all be it for honey.

We were called to a suspected Asian Hornet in a pub last night. It had been trapped under a glass. We managed to confirm it was a queen European Native Hornet and it was let go. Rather called out to a false alarm then not called at all.

Called to a large prime swarm Wareham Golf Club club. The club is surrounded by bee keepers. This lot obviously wanted a few rounds of Saturday golf. Now skepped and off to Organford for its new home. Wareham Dorset is this lot escaping for some summer 🌞??
