And one for you (a plum tree in our garden, back in late March this year) with very best wishes for your recovery.

Nice easy swarm collection this morning. The ones that bivouac at head height are great. :)

Lovely colony this, 9 frames of brood and not even an indication of a play cup. #lovenon-swarmybees

Sitting behind one of my hives, in the garden, looking up at plum blossom and watching some of the bees from that hive foraging on it. There are still real things in the world.

Very unusual to see the sea this calm and clear during the winter months. Very soothing to be near (this was 3 days ago and it's still much the same).
