12 Aug

I put clearance boards on three colonies on Monday night and will be removing 5 supers of honey tonight (1930hrs). I am leaving one super on each of the colonies, which had been on a box and a half earlier in the season so although containing honey will also have pollen and pupa cases.

The 2 nucs have been combined and are now in a double story nuc, which I will transfer into a hive with a full sized brood box before the winter.

Once I have extracted the honey I will get the bees to clear up the frames before I feed them, which will start in early September.

Watch this space for details of any remaining visits for this season.
