First inspection

Lovely day yesterday, about 18C and sunny.  Managed to go through the Surfleet apiary, 6 hives at the moment.  Moved the supers back on top of the hives and put the Q excluders back in.  All have made it through the winter, two are quite small and will go down to nucs on next inspection, one has brood on 7 frames and has fresh honey being stored already.  Generally a good day.
Judging by the numbers of bees in the air, i will be putting a couple of bait hives out next week,  early swarms i think might be possible.
