Three Supers!!!

Before

Today we decided to put a new super on WW 1 to give them more space- we moved the full super to the top, the next one down and an empty super in between.
The full super was too heavy for me to lift on top of the whole lot by myself- luckily Trev was there to help get everything back together.
After !
Looks impressive with all those supers- they may not fill the empty one with honey , but if they draw some of the foundation that would be a great help for encouraging the bees to get started next year. Our plan is to clear the top super this week and extract the honey- another new experience and one we are looking forward to!!!

  1. Wow! Trevor's Honey gets closer! Had a sting yesterday - scything too close to hives. Own fault and luckily no reaction whatsoever. Rob
