Another quick visit after last night's AGM. By bedding down time early in the winter we'd lost (or fused) a few of those splits that went to Glen Clova and a few weeks ago there were 8 still alive. Now another has gone but the seven survivors are looking more promising. Some of them are strong enough to be able to romp away when spring arrives, though there are still some small enough to struggle to build up ... or fall over that cliff yet.

The nearby willow is on the point of flowering and there is the start of the feel of spring about the place.

2013 *will* be a better beekeeping year, won't it?!
