    What are your thoughts for the main flow

    The Spring flow here has been short but powerful! The bees filled supers really quickly once they were no longer starving. Absolutely from famine to feast. Last year the weather knocked most of the bramble opportunities on the head, so we’re at the mercy of the Met Office!

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Thursday donated a split colony to a fellow beek, who had suffered losses, as too many bees for the garden. Today inspected three: split one, so back to square one! Of the other two I added a third super to one and a fourth super to the other. All bees very nice to work with.

    Thanks - I think @inthewoods got it. Blackbirds - regurgitating suet berry bites and seeds from the bird table. I didn’t know they did that.

    Mystery Poo

    Something keeps leaving presents on our outside table and chairs - I’m assuming a bird. The poo is very like from bramble - a purple ish squidgy but with quite sizeable seeds in it. I can’t think what the seeds are from and would like to know as they are commonly stuck to my trousers when I...

    I was wondering - those with two/three hives, do you split or just demaree?

    This is the most difficult part of beekeeping for me. Overwintered four and a nuc, with no losses. Decided four would be the most I want in the garden, so sold the nuc. Now back to five after a splitting a huge colony with another colony split anticipated this week. Colonies each have three...
