One fine day
14 th April - to be the finest day of Spring - and so it was!
14C! The apiary and the garden were humming. A good time to check all 5 colonies have plenty of stores and are bringing in pollen.
So what else could QB do? Why, hang out the washing. Why not?
I forgot what happens to the whites. Little brown splodges appeared.
I won't do that again - this year anyway.
The other job I did -
Sorry, they don't look much do they - but they're very precious. Cerinthe seedlings, otherwise known as Honeywort ( as in Virgil's pastoral poems.) They are very nectarful(?) and are especially loved by pollinators, especially Bumblebees.
Off now to sow Borage - a honeybee favourite. Byezzzzzzzzzzzzzz
