Mr Tett, one of our beekeeping 'buddies' from Kendal beekeepers came to visit today to see how the children and bees were getting on.
He inspected Hive 2 with some of the children and couldn't believe how much nectar our bees were bringing in... (I think he was a bit jealous!) already the super we added last week is half full... with some of the honey already capped! The children saw huge progress in Hive 1... with the Queen already laying in our 2nd brood box and honey being stored in the super. He was also very impressed with the beekeeping skills of the children and all their knowledge.
Hopefully the weather will stay settled and our bees can continue their hard work...
