It'll be those neonics, Meg.
It'll be those neonics, Meg.
I'll ignore that for the time being Gavin - need to go to sleep.
Meanwhile, the queens looked perfectly normal, fully formed, nice size, wings perfect - and I did look blooming hard just in case, but just didn't seem to be able to get airborne more than a foot or so. Time will tell - 3 apideas at home and the rest elsewhere, so if these 3 all fail from the same batch then maybe worth investigating further. There agin life is too short a the moment and not enough time to clean my teeth (euphemism?) let alone worry about the odd queen or 3.
Night all.

A monk reincarnated as a masked man.
Heard of stranger scenarios, Rosie's waggle dancing anti narcotic bees for example.
Lol only kidding most years I have more queens than I could ever need
DR flog a few to help pay your SBA conference fee or in Jon's case help pay for the beer when comes over for the visit!
Half a dozen grafts going into Kielers tonight. Getting the bees into the mini-nucs was not pleasant ... Cool, windy day with light rain. Perfect conditions to find everyone home, making the queen trickier to find and the entire colony downright resentful of being messed about. Learnt my lesson the hard way, but two beesuits provided sufficient protection in the final collection stages.
All busy roaring in the garage ...
