We went through our hives properly for the first time yesturday. Some bursting at the seams with food and others not so good and saw 3 marked queens.

Think we have lost one hive (queen died) but given a test frame just to check they are definately queenless.

Overall happy and they were bringing pollen like it was going out of fashion so very happy with that.

Also went to the Spring convention at the weekend at Harper Adams. Was really good.

That sounds good - or at least as good as you are going to get after the previous year.
