June Gap ?

There's a lazy sort of buzzing in the apiary.  Nothing hectic.  No hurtling around.
This, in N N'land is the June Gap.  The Rowans have finished flowering.  The May (aka June) blossom is over.    But.....................................
Cerinthe (Honeywort)
Meadow Buttercup
London Pride

Aquilegia
We aren't short of forage.  The Flowers just take a bit of finding.

Anyway, remember that your honeybees are storing up for winter now.

The 2 nucs. are bringing in pollen - a good sign that they may have reared queens. The next inspection QB will report on their progress as I plan to go through the nucs thoroughly.
Watch this space.  Where's John-Bee?

    If you were a honeybee you would be telling the rest of them "loads of nectar and pollen"
    "Pretty" to us mere mortals is "winter stores" to our honeybees.
