Cold Weather in the UK
« on: January 07, 2010, 05:38:32 pm »
Cold here in the UK -8 degrees C tonight. Brrrrrrrr

Bees treated with Oxalic acid this week for varroa - one hive pretty clean (30 or so mites knocked down) the other one checked has had in excess of 600 so far in 3 days. And it was treated with thymol in the Autumn too.


More snow on the way this weekend !!

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.
