6 months; more like a life sentence!

In conversation today I worked out that the last time I had been “into” (inspected frames of brood) a hive was 6 months ago…. it feels like a lifetime! I can’t wait for the months ahead now. I was buoyed by the sight this afternoon of bees coming out of hives at one of my sites, as the sun (all too briefly) warmed the air and lifted temperatures.
Bees (and speedway) are my lifes’ passions – aside of my family of course! But both are from Spring to Fall which leaves half the year pining! There are things to do and books to read, but no “live” action through the dark winter!!
