The seniors finished the last of their lessons at school today, so its 4 weeks with a reduced timetable and planning for next year... cruise time!
The weather has been ace for some time here - so we can eat outside most evenings - like tonight, watching the pair of Kingfishers feed each other and go hunting as we tuck into our roast chicken! As a result of the good spring, the bees were doing so well before my friend brought them over to me that I had to add a second super (a box for honey to go into) this evening.
Fortunately the bees were much more docile than the day they arrived! I was a bit nervous - going solo for the first time:
The bees just sat there and I jiggled boxes - even pausing for a cheesy grin to the photographer... not that you can see:
Does my bum look big in this bee suit?!
Work done for the day, Bernie and I are enjoying a fine Nelson Chardonnay (B is only having half a glass!) and some home baking. I wish you were all here to share it all with us!
Best wishes,
C&B x x
