Yes agree totally re autumn. Been 10 or 11 years since we had this sort of rain. I set my first european bee hive up in March 2020, 2nd hive 2022. Had Natives since Feb 2019, just left them in their log.
Thought I was failing as I got anxious when setting up to check bees.
Then the other day saw a UTube interview with Daniel from BeeWeaver Bees. He said it is normal to feel nervous, excited, concerned etc and eventually as skillset improves working bees becomes like a meditation.
I am looking forward to that time, so will keep learning.
