Is anyone else finding this years honey crop largely unspectacular?
What there has been has been sporadic and unpredictable. I Went and did 30 odd inspections today and they are no further forward than they were 12 days ago, albeit more bees.
What was surprising was there was the most impressive display of blossom in spring I've ever seen. Shame that didn't translate into a good crop, just well, lots of bees.
The amount of swarming through may was just incredible... seemed like every other colony was trying to make a dash for it!
Hot weather on the way, maybe we will see a turn of fortune...
