Yes, I had the third degree.
Just home from visiting my Dad on Fathers day and the Limes on the edge of the village are in full flower.

Limes are very deep rooted….I’d settle for the hot weather any day, very high temps can burn the flowers up fast but large trees will be tapping deeper sources of water.No rain here for about two months. Concerned that we have a repeat of last year with lime in flower but no moisture so very little nectar. Five years ago conditions were perfect so my bees loaded every crevice with nectar while I was on holiday in Naples. Still my best ever year - not since!
That’s great.One hive has filled three supers in two weeks. Can only imagine this is a lime flow, or at least helping!
Woop woop! Bees have found the Hawthorn. On a brighter note Curly has had an avenue of Limes spring up near one of his apiaries.Absolutely nothing to report in 2024
the May came out with us today too - I wonder if this will be a repeat of last year? I'll have to drag my creaking bones out tomorrow and get some supers ready for the most likely hives.Woop woop! Bees have found the Hawthorn.
Not here. The colonies are strong but not fit to bursting in dandelion. Missed that completely.the May came out with us today too - I wonder if this will be a repeat of last year? I'll have to drag my creaking bones out tomorrow and get some supers ready for the most likely hives.
I didn't get anything from the dandelion last year, but I was looking at last year's records and colony strengths are almost a repeat of last year's, weather set fair for the weekend as well.Not here. The colonies are strong but not fit to bursting in dandelion. Missed that completely.
