It was a weird year, the hives were swarming at the drop of a hat but not re-queening the original hive particularly easily. If the weather is warm enough tomorrow I'll go up to Penn hill and check to see how they're doing and maybe lob some extra feed on them. Shouldn't be doing the first inspection until late March / early April but it's been an insanely warm winter.
The quince is starting to bud and blossom already and the apple/pear and plum are getting ready to bud.
On the plus side being one of those nuts who keeps bees means having really really well pollinated veg and fruit in the back garden :)
