At long last colonies and nucs have made up for the dreadful weather in April, and are ready for their new owners to collect.
Complete working colonies are moved into brand new hives
They are then clamped with ratchet straps and when its late in the evening and the last of the flying bees have returned home, the entrance will be sealed.
This one has been sited in its new location on the outskirts of Huntingdon and has just been opened. This colony has gone to a returning customer and I hope that they work as hard for him as the one he had last year, which has already given 40lbs of honey this season.
Took delivery of another colony from Mike yesterday, superb as usual.
