Today, I brought along my good friend Steve to watch. I think he enjoyed himself and may be inspired to take up beekeeping himself - I know he has been thinking about it for a while.
Genesis is building up stores nicely now. The shallow frame is almost full and they have completed the natural comb underneath it - this is now filling with worker brood - I think it is too late in the season for them to build drone comb (I was advised by someone to keep a shallow frame in all year round as part of IPM) but it is and will be additional stores for the winter. Fed them another 2 litres of 1x1 syrup.
