Hello everyone
Spring has certainly started with a bang – already beekeepers are out and about checking hives, finishing off treatments and preparing for what we hope is a strong start to the Season.
At this time of year treatments, patties for improving/growing brood and foundation/frames/total frames for increasing hive numbers and honey supers, are the name of the game. So here is to being organised!! LOL
