All things considered


Well they didn't do too badly in the end, despite the colony being queenless early on, then swarming managed a reasonable haul, could have been a lot more honey if I had put the right frames in the hive, hence the honeycomb this year! It's supposed to be nice with vanilla ice cream, will let you know :)

There's an outside chance I might get a bit more as one super is still on hive, but it's getting a bit late in the season and if I leave them what they have foraged it should tide them over until spring.
