OBKA Training Apiary Tidy-up Session Sunday 03 Nov 2024

Another session at our Training Apiary arranged by our Apiary Manager, Andy Pedley. This session was a follow-on from previous sessions where most of the work was around painting hives and the bee shed. However beesuits were advised as well as ‘don’t matter clothes’ as mouse guards needed to be checked and fondant added to any hives looking a bit light on stores.

And upon checking one of the colonies we discovered this amazing comb that had been built in the eke over the apiguard tray. This is the second dose put in mid-August so the bees have been very busy since then.

We will have some further apiary sessions later this year, keep an eye out for announcements from Andy.
