Well today is the Winter solstice....deepest darkest winter. Did a walk by of the hives not an opening inspection just a visual check to see how things are. A veritable "hive" of activity going on with lots of nectar being gathered, I could smell it before I could even see the hives.
Love this beekeeping in the sub tropics. On our way to summer now. Nights a bit chilly but 20's during the day.
