Hi Bee North,
I took more honey off today.
The smell of honey in the air is amazing.
Yes, it is all happening down here.
On the way to one of my yards the Paulownias are flowering. Maybe just a touch to far away for my bees.
I have seen some drones - just a few - but more drone brood.
I still need to add some supers on to some of my hives to make some room for queens to lay.
Most of the hives should be OK if they do what they usually do - shift honey from the brood box into the honey super.
I would not be surprised if we take more honey off in a few weeks.
keep well
max
