Lots of bees in the air - Lovely to see it this late in the year though.
Oh ... and that's not a super on top of the hive it's an eke filled with Kingspan with a central circular cavity ready for a feeder if they need it ... the hole in the crown board is covered and the feeder cavity has a circular kingspan insert in it. I do practice what I preach ...
