Saturday 10th August 2013 ~ Hive Inspection

Not too many photos today as we tried to be a little quicker but also taking good notes as we decide what to move about and whether we might risk taking off some honey next week.

We tried the blanket trick today draping it over the frames we'd inspected so that the bees stayed calmer, or at least out of sight!!
 

Little pollen droppings from bees legs ~ so many colours
