My anxiety levels are sky high at the moment, fuelled in part by
wondering about my bees. I may have been keeping bees for over a decade
but I still worry about their survival through winter (more so now than
in years gone by, maybe because I now have more colonies). As a bee
keeper you can feel that you are helping the bees in their fight to
survive through the active season. But come autumn and you are reminded
that these are wild creatures and for as much as can be done to help
prepare for winter, now I can only watch, and wait, and hope (and
worry!) – Nature.
There is a real sense of helplessness: The winter
has already shown its’ true colours and at present has not really
abated. Lets hope the bees are tightly clustered over ample stores.
Having longed for cold to kill off the wasps I now yearn for a mild
spell (while I am not at work) to see the bees at the hive entrances on
cleansing flights.
