Checking of the Hives






I went along today and met the lads to check on the hives. We have one hive stronger than the other at the mo but hopefully both will do well. Although it was a bit windy, we managed to have a look inside to see how each hive was developing. They seem to be doing okay and are slurpping down the syrup Bryan has prepared for them Here are a few photos.
