@BizzleBugs Trying to but hit that hard last winter I've had to treat some. Mostly my non JB strain and using as light a treatment regime as I can get away with. As you can see no strips in these. Some nucs have strips a might be sold on.

Bees flying today, I'll be round this site next week to check they're healthy and still have stores. A fair few will probably get a feed to get them started and ready for the OSR in late march or Apr.

Yesterday's job was moving some bees out of an owl box, took a good hour but think I got the queen. Today the bees have cleaned it up I'll take it back to the farmer tomorrow as appointment owls are pairing up. Needs scraping clean or I'm sure the bees will be back.😬

Quick look at a few colonies on one of my wintering sites. Most looked like these, nicely tucked up in this chilly weather. One that I gave feed last week (baggies) had taken it down. The grain is due to a spillage of syrup, user forklift error, need I say more.😬

New stand designs going out in the field, made be my lad. Ideal if you lift them and stack them. Easy to level and held in place purely by the weight of the hives. Just could do with loads more. When I've got a chance to learn how to weld.😬

@ElmTreeBees Prefer to spring feed to rev them up a bit. It's like giving them a cup of tea.🤤

Rawcliffe bridge, a swarm in an owl box, now back at base to remove when the weather improves. Always amazed how bees close the entrance down with propolis. If they need to they open it up on warm days to allow better flight.

@SheffieldHoney I didn't believe you, good suits but I'll be giving that a miss. The honey rustler I use is nearly £200. Better take better care of the one I've got.😲
