Oldfella, I think you are wrong about the lady bit...

You may be still lambing in Kincardineshire, Scotland but here in Lincolnshire we finished a fortnight ago. Swarm season is from the end of May. Go for it. Any swarms which you don't take will be destroyed by the pest-control people. Get them and get them into those empty hives.

I need a few 24 hour-stretches of sleep before I start anything as energetic as that! Need to get my seedlings pricked out first - they are way too large already...

I know, I know. But Diana (also on this forum) has found a bee mentor locally, and I'm hoping she'll give me a kick up the backside and make me get everything ready in time for next year. I need that sometimes.

Hi Beek

I'm a newbie in the East Midlands too (Nottingham, for my sins!). And looking forward to learning useful things from you & the other lovely ISHers
