    Default Weekend weather

    If these temperatures are correct it will be a great opportunity to do a proper check at the weekend.
    Unbelievable for March and the clocks go forward as well this weekend so there will be light in the evenings.
    I nearly always find a couple of boxes too full of stores, and a couple which are light so it will be an opportunity to do some rearranging.

    The softy southerners like Nellie will get a look in as well.

    I was considering popping into Calum's for a cup of tea. I'm in Berlin so no chance of taking a peek this weekend.

    Ooo, I should have waited. Lifted a few frames in mine today - a bit cool but the sun is strong and the apiary sheltered. More pics later in the blog. Bees building nicely.

    I have 4 in the garden I have not looked into at all yet so they can wait for the weekend.

    Left mine in peace as it was the first really decent day they've had and I wanted to let them enjoy it undisturbed. Was planning to take a look tomorrow but forecast not so good now. Saturday and Sunday look promising.

    Flippin' heck. And after tomorrow we're unlikely to see it rise above 10C for a fortnight they say.

    No snow forecast this far south of Stonehaven, but Metcheck is forecasting minus figures overnight mid-week. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/

    As long as it's not -25C ,

    My bees have survived two winters in a row with minimums of -18C so a little frost should do no harm.

    We had -5C last May..

    Currently snowing here in Speyside and looks set in for the night.
