However it does mean that I can get on with building some of the kit for next season without feeling guilty about all the jobs I have to do outside, I am working on the second batch of hives, so far, three floors, three broods, two supers, two roofs and a shedload of frames. The first batch of four are complete, all have deposits on them are stored away in the dry and will be ready for collection mid - late May 2013, with colonies installed. From the amount of interest I don't think this second batch will be available for long.
I am glad I did not rush to trickle oxalic acid on my colonies before the new year, another week of this weather, and that looks likely, will be the ideal time to carry out the treatment.
