All tucked up

Well the bees are nearly all tucked up for the winter.  We have finished feeding now and we just
have to remove the reduced entrance blocks (which stops the wasps getting in) and put the mouseguard
over the entrances instead.  Apparently mice like spending the winter in beehives, its warm and cosy and there is food!  We have already wrapped the hives up in plastic to prevent unwanted attention from woodpeckers. So fingers crossed that they get through the winter in good shape.
