Sutton Mawr Farm in the rain!

It's July - what do we expect!!!


The umbrella isn't for me - it's for the bees.  They don't like the rain - at all.  They are usually quite spiky if the hive is opened up in bad weather and this was no exception.  However, if I miss a visit and they start to build queen cells, then the first warm day and they'll be off!
All was well inside the hives.  The queens are laying well, the pattern of brood, pollen and stores is as expected in spite of the weather.
