Thanks R. Grrrrr .... about an hour of tidying up ahead of me. About one hundred new accounts to delete, one by one. I have appropriate barriers up now though and will strengthen some others before I'm done. Thanks for the warning.
The new Ivor Cutler has arrived!
Pleased to see that Qs have picked up this last week in Tayside. Forgotten what it was like to see a full frame of brood or feel some weight in a super. Lime and willowherb now yielding well in Dundee. A check showed all but one colony with enough stores. The exception, that was on the brink of starvation, was a colony moved within an apiary and having lost most of the flying bees was struggling. My bad - I should have given more stores when I moved them.
Fatshark has a new life to look forward to.

Weather here this morning was terrible but about 11am the clouds parted and the sun has been out ever since. The swarm hive in my back garden has been working like a trojan today and they're still at it, these bees seem different from my other ones as they seem harder workers ? if this keep up they will be going to the heather with my other hive!
just checked the temp in back garden and its 22deg now

HJBee is there a mesh on the front of that shed thing ?
I doubt if the nylon rope would keep many bees in :)
[emoji23] and I'm stood in front of the live honey bees, keep out sign.
Yes there is fine Mesh, they bring them in 2-3 days before the show opens and the bees learn to fly high, over all the show goers heads before opening. They had plenty of Lime trees to forage on. This set up is great as the suit & boot anyone who is interested and get them in and handling the frames. [emoji219]
I must get some of that mesh on my visor
Don't be surprised to find a bit snipped out
This morning was spent getting the grey fergie tractor out of a mud hole where it dug itself in
What a carry on :)

I never saw a need for a butterfly net but I've just spent ages chasing a Red Admiral round the house before I finally got him out
I'm off to Amazon to get a net
