Winter checks and feed

We moved bees to our new site in Leominster before christmas, we were a bit concerned about their feed levels . Some wwere heavy but the newly promoted nucs were very light. So we fed the colonies that were moved, all looked OK some were perhaps a bit small and could have been left in nucleus boxes for wintering.

The site looks good so far , is S to S.E facing so should get good levels of sunlight in summer. We have space for about 20 colonies so will redistribute hive in the early spring.
We also checked Stoke Prior for "roofs on" all seemed fine. It was notable how warm this site felt compared to those at Leominster and Bromyard.
Good too see someone happy at work, Sam here dancing across the apiary
