Colony Inspection 13th April
Observations:
Weather has turned colder with temps between 10C – 12C. Lots in flower: quince, Laurel, cherry & dandelion
Aqua has expanded nicely, others are doing OK and 2 are not really growing. Added first super to Aqua.
Will need to keep an eye on Varroa as the 2 colonies that had partially filled drone traps had more than 10% mite counts. Should make sure all the colonies have drone trap combs.
