Greetings from sunny Spain, average temps running at 35/37 C in the shade!
just been to watch the hive entrances , there were about five or six wasps making a nuisance of themselves trying to gain access but the guard bees were on top of their job and none were seen entering,
last year the wasps left it until September before they tried to gain access,
with the temps being so high there is very little for our bees to forage on, which will likely be the reason for both of the queens to take time out from laying,
thank goodness for the diary which I have been keeping, not quite as many scary moments this year!
none of the forage plants have flowered at the same time as last year except for the ever reliable Aptenia,
If I had known how absorbing beekeeping is I would have started many moons ago,
adios.
