Question 1) how many clothes can you wear under a bee suit when it's brassic out there?
Answer; more than you think 😄
Question 2) what do you do when you're a curtain maker and you have lots of offcuts of interlining?
Answer; why, you use use it to stuff the entrances to your beehives when you need to do the winter Varroa treatment, of course!
I had a trip to the apiary yesterday to treat the ladies. It was a perfect opportunity; the theory is that after a period of cold, the bees take the queen out of lay. With no brood, the Varroa mites will be on the adult bees and not tucked up with the babies and, therefore, easier to eliminate. Varroa are nasty little bloodsuckers that spread disease, so the more got rid of, the better for going into the new season. Job done! But my gosh, it was cold!
