Countdown to some Hands-On Bee Action


The first 2012 module of LandofSpike's course is set for this Saturday.
The weather has been glorious all week. It's warm and sunny and spring seems to have got its feet firmly under the table. 
LandofSpike checked out Apiary Central this morning and bees are definitely out and about but they're still restricted to just the one bee-sized winter doorway. 
Saturday's itinerary includes expanding their entrance so LandofSpike suspects that he should soon know all about mouseguards.
We're also going to be giving the hive a springtime healthcheck and we'll be topping up the feeders.
Theory-wise we'll be learning how to identify bee castes, how to feed and what plants honey bees love to visit.

  1. Your illustration is a bit too uncanny, seems to sum you up.
