New Year Resolution - A new honeybee blog every week (at least)

After good news re- broadband (14th August 2017!!!) things went slow again.
However, here we are again. I guess if you live in the middle of nowhere (out of choice) you have to cope.
Some catching up to do.
Re- Exam.  Very nervous of results, though felt quite relaxed when doing exam. - Basic Assessment - 1:1 with examiner; 20mins practical going through a colony; 1hr. theory Qs. Then you wait 3 - 4 weeks to find out if you've passed. A nerve-wracking time. Result - passed with credit ( you have to get 75% or more score in each of 4 categories).
Anyway, today after quite heavy snow, I checked the 6 colonies. I'll update you on how we finished last season (including some exciting time on the heather) next time.
Bees In polyhive on heather moor.
The heather was fab. this year '17
WBC hives are double-walled -v.g.insulation!
