Hi Headfry

Bees are doing well, flying most days when the temperature gets above 10degrees C. Our queen (a buckfast cypriot) seems to be laying well - but I think it maybe her last year as this is is her 3rd season. Hopefully we'll get a couple of new queens out of her, as she (and her off spring) have great temperaments and are excellant nectar/pollen collectors.
Can't wait for the first seasons honey - every year its different!

cheers
Graham
