First Hive Inspection Of The New Season

[@JaneGeddes-r3b]

I love how calm they (and you) are. Lovely to watch

[@cotswoldbees]

It’s really important to have calm bees. These are all Buckfast strain.

Hello Chris, nice looking colony building up for the summer months, great tip having plenty of tea and cake after inspecting your hives. Thank you for taking us along with your at your apiary.

[@cotswoldbees]

It’s a pleasure. Thanks for your interest. Lots more videos to come. We have a very busy year planned.

Hi Chris, Enjoyed this - as ever. Just received my first ever nuc, now looking forward to a first years learning!

[@cotswoldbees]

Great. I hope you really enjoy your beekeeping.

If I'd left mine this late to do a first inspection, I'd have lost 2 swarms. They're coming on nicely and very good temperament too.

We’ve had some rubbish weather here really holding them back. Cold, frost, rain, a bit of snow & a lot of wind. Apart from that it’s been great. Each time they started to build up they got knocked back.
