Hi there,
My two colonies came through ok.. Its now that I am worried, Rape in full flower for a week! but awful weather, supers on, but feel should take off and re start feeding???? bees eh! -
Fortunately my one hive came through the winter ok. I know what you mean about the weather HF, they're just peering out the hive wondering why it's winter again!Comment

I also know what you mean ive started feeding again as they were low on stores with loads of brood and pollen had a quick look in hives today and found a charged queen cell in one went to do a a/s but couldnt find the queen so have another go tomorrow if weather holds.Comment

Our 7 hives all overwintered fine, we had 2 add some supers of honey onto 2 of them about a month ago as they were low on stores, and we've had to add empty supers onto 4 of them, but all the girls seem to be building up nicely. Had to remove some Queen cells in mid March, far too early for them to be splitting yet! Lol!Blessings
