What a lovely day. I was going to do the last application of Hive Clean today anyway so I decided I might as well do my Spring Inspection. This mean you have to inspect each frame of bees really carefully - looking for anything untoward like disease. So you have to shake the bees off the frames into the brood box so you can have a really good look at all the brood, to check if they are all healthy.
All went well, Adele hive was grumpiest of all and I got stung on the hand a couple of times. Everything looks health. Some covered brood, larvae and eggs in all hives. Didn't see any queens but they are obviously in there due to the eggs. Connie had a queen cup of course. They are our swarmiest hive having gone three times last year. All looking good for the coming season.
