It's probably time now to set up those bait hives which you have been preparing this winter ... or haven't you?

Better get going, then!

Looks simple enough, but we should all have done this during the winter, shouldn't we? And did we? 'Course not!!

But some of us have managed to start the season with several empty boxes and (fumigated) old comb, so they'll do instead ....

Going to be smug. Built 4 open mesh floors, 7 x 5 frames nuc boxes, 5 swarm boards, 15 sheets of super foundation from my own wax to try cut comb this year and just finishing a modification of the John Harding queen raising system for using two queens. The telly was rubbish this winter!
