Flying bees!

The bees have made it this far! I am seeing lots flying every day at the moment which is great.

I have kit coming in the post... I have 6 supers, 100 top bars, some wireless foundation, narrow spacers, 2 porter bee escapes, some plastic excluders and 200 wooden lolly sticks on their way.

I am hoping to give the bees some top bars to play with, with wooden guides and wax starter. I have intentions of going completely top bar and convert the nationals to a sort of topsy turvy Warre hive system.

We will see.

Hopefully this year I won't make the bees quite as angry as I did in October. I have to admit, I am a bit scared now of getting horribly stung.
