Anyone interested in the Oxalic acid Varroa treatment will be welcome on the Apiary next Saturday. They'll be especially welcome if they've carried out the procedure themselves as this will be the first attempt by Colin or I and were not too proud to take advice. There are also crocus, snowdrops, winter aconites and anemone blanda bulbs to go in. If all the bulbs flower in the spring we should have an attractive and forage rich apiary. Last year I planted a few daffodils, anemones and crocus and they went in in mid February. They flowered beautifully if a little late and the bees made good use, especially of the crocus where they collected plenty of pollen.
