Hello Everyone,
Today's video isn't going to be a "How To" like usual as I accidentally did one of those last week.
I decided on the way home from work to visit my Quarantine Apiary as it had been more than a week since my last nosey at the hives there. This Apiary is predominantly used to house swarms that I pick up throughout the year. They're kept here until winter to ensure they don't have any diseases that can be passed to my other colonies.
As they are mainly swarms, I tend to only inspect them every 2 weeks, as they are more resistant to swarming again. Please note that I didn't say, "They won't swarm again."
As always, I was hoping that I could blitz through my inspections and have a nice, short, interesting video for you guys. I also had to pick up my daughter from nursery pretty sharpish, too. So, of course, the bees decided to throw some surprises my way.
One of the issues from today is due to me not inspecting the colonies weekly. So, this is a good example of dealing with the consequences of your actions.
I hope you enjoy the video. it was a little rushed near the end, sadly, but I think it has some good examples.
Hope you're safe and well,
Greg
