On Saturday 7th Jan Colin and I duly treated the Bees on the Apiary to an Oxalic acid bath. We planted bulbs, only a few left to go in now. Today Sun 15th Colin and I checked the varroa trays and there has been quite a good drop, at a very rough estimate, 3 or 4 mites per square inch.
On Wednesday next we'll be lining the pond with carpet, it's a cheaper option than sand or the commercial equivalent but perfectly adequate. Hefting the hives to check on what stores are available to the bees is another job and then there's the bulbs.
