What a lovely day - sunny and warm after a cold, misty start.
Far too good to sit in and read the Sunday papers. They'll have
to wait!
All hives, Blue, Red, Yellow and Silver have loads of bees literally
hurtling in and out. Because the entrance to each hive is only one-bee
width now to stop robbing and mice the bees are queueing up to get in.
When they come out the fly fast in a big upward spiral before shooting off.
Where to?? Well the Michaelmas Daisy bushes are teeming with honey bees,
bluebottles, hover flies, small furry bumblebees, and some wasps. The noise
of contented buzzing is very loud. More than I've heard all Summer.
Unfortunately the flight path from the hives crosses the washing on the line.
So QB needs to duck out of the way now and again!
More Syrup is mixed ready for feeding tonight.
