I have resisted the temptation to have a peek My beekeeper mentor has kept in touch throughout and the call came yesterday to open up. Done the first inspection of the year and i am pleased to say that things are going well here. There are five frames of sealed brood, 1 drone cell some evidence of a queen cell being made and the queen was spotted. I have to say I am delighted and that despite the worst winter for years the girls have made it through. There was plenty pollen coming in and some stores left although the hive was a little light (more feed required) My only hope now is that the good weather continues as my goal is expansion hopefully I will be able to go for the double brood box a good feed and her majesty will delighted with the new room a great Saturday
