Today I decided to check on the Supers to see how much honey was there. The oilseed rape has been in flower a good week - 10 days and this honey has to be harvested early since is crystallises very quickly and is hard to extract.
The bees find it hard to eat in the winter since it sets very hard and they struggle to liquidise it in the cold.
So took off 8 frames of honey off Beatrice hive and one frame of Adele hive before I ran out of replacement frames - so came back in the house and made up more frames and another super so I can collect more tomorrow.
