    Best to be optimistic Bridget. Got 8 of mine on the rape and hoping for a little sweetness this year.

    Weather permitting, we can mark a few on Monday evening but they will be getting yellow spots as they are 2012 queens. I found my yellow posca pen the other day.

    This gal here needs marked and clipped.

    Been marking my 2012 queens blue as a moosie ate my yellow Posca pen in the winter. I'd have liked a look at the coupon (face for the non-Glaswegians) on that mouse in the immediate aftermath!

    Whatever happened to wee glass nail varnish bottles with nice gentle brushes? (I know what happened to my last one - dropped it!)

    Last Saturday I was getting a yellow and a white Posca pen working and the only rigid surfaces available to do that plunging action to get them going were my fingernails (covered by a latex glove). Doing my nails in front of a group of beekeepers .... weird ....

    These Buzzy Bee Shop wing snippers are the bees knees. Much easier than dodgy Tesco nail scissors.

    Always more comfortable that way.

    I hear that the SBA is putting on a good show at Gardening Scotland. Anyone see any of it?
