My swarmy-strain hive is looking light, come to think of it: hmmm...
Its gonna be close to the wire for her getting mated but gonna leave them and see. Worst case I merge a bit later.
Too late round my way, not a drone to be seen.

Just checked the other hives and there still drones waiting to hatch.
Gonna have to keep doing weekly inspections as they are all still so full its crazy. Ivy is in full flow as well.
I had a swarm call yesterday
Wow!
Who will win the prize for the latest swarm of 2014?
I reckon the next big issue from this super-long season is going to be varroa there is no way my colonies will make it to spring without help.
