Is it Spring yet?

[MJBee]

First decent day for what seems like weeks- sunny and +12C. All colonies active Spring cleaning and toilet breaks. Lovely to see but a long way to go yet.

First time I've seen bees flying for ages. If this is what happens after The End of The World, bring it on...

The weather is more like 'summer'

Yes, like most of last summer cold and wet

but today;s daylight is 3 seconds longer than yesterday...soon be spring

What do my stupid neighbours next to my apiary do on such a great day?

Light a massive bonfire 10 yds from the bees which because it's been raining for days smokes like billyho all day. All over my washing as well.



I know there should be no long term damage but honestly some people have no sense or thought for anyone but themselves.

Rant over.

Getting their own back for all the bee poo on their washing.

Did not go up the apiary today but walked straight into a cobweb in the garden so some insects thinks it's spring

Doubt it, their washing is a very long way from the bottom of their estate!

I feel as though I am living in a different country, its wet windy and cold here. The bees would need to be mad to come out at all. I just check the hive has not blown over.
