Still planning to go today at 1800hrs. As we have no candidates for the BBKA assessment we can use one or more colonies to breed some queens. Plan for today: Check nucs. Check all other hives and assess honey yield in supers prior to clearance and extraction.

Visited and refilled the contact feeders (4pt) on the nucs on Saturday 04 Jul. Crownboards not removed but active bees seen through feedhole, Colony in poly nuc had also taken down feed from Miller type feeder and were much livelier - one frame checked fully laid up with egg.

Next visit 1800hrs on Thursday 09 Jul weather permitting - will update blog on the day before the visit.
