We finally got a break in the weather this afternoon, just long enough for us to get suited up and check on the hives.
All of the hives were lovely and calm. We had a few bee come out to say hello but they mostly stayed put.
We put on the queen excluders and added on a super for each hive from last year which still had dregs of honey left in them. The smell of the honey was lovely and the bees will enjoy tidying them up.
We have also switched them from their winter fondant food to sugar solution now the weather is starting to warm up. It always feels good to get an inspection done and see that the bees are doing well.
