Bee raft

Up early and callie walk with company.

Home and off to u9 football.

Great footballers today, learning all the time and improving. Today I was amazed on how they played. I don't coach when they play just encourage. Their decision making was excellent and they grew in confidence.

Out to out apiary to check for queen cells. All calm bees now which makes it easier and rewarding to the work over the years to breed easy to handle or I am getting better..

The merged hive looks good and got it back to normal size.

New site checked, queens found but tired and did not go through hive.

Food and queen mating boxes up to local apiary and chat with mentor.

Ice cream for the ladies then honey box put on new bees and allotment watered.

Home and bed.

I put wood in the bath to help bees gather water, they are liking it.
