This morning was mild and the sun even came out! I spotted one of our kittens chasing a bee outside, so I went to have a look at our hives. It was fantastic to see bees busily zipping in and out of the hive – I haven’t seen them flying for several weeks because it has been too cold – We have to leave them in peace and not disturb the cluster that they form to keep warm, so it is always a relief to see them out and about again.
