Sunday 4th July
Just a quick job today, adding a super to Dipsy's hive. No photos of the process this time because we had some interested neighbours come over and help out - I got so carried away talking about it all I forgot to take any photos along the way. There wasn't anything amiss here and the varroa count for a fortnight was phenomenally low - not one single mite on the varroa floor. That's the first time there's been a zero count this whole year!
Unfortunately during the same period there were 42 on Bea's floor and 27 on Charlie's so we are by no means 'varroa-free' around here!
