I have 3 nucs in the office car park and all three were flying well yesterday with the sun shining on them. I'll treat them with oxalic acid within the next few weeks and put fondant on them at that time as I am sure they will run short of food in 2021. Not long now until the shortest day.

Don’t give anyone ideas or we will end up buying Oxalic Acid by the gram..

Melted down a loads of cappings wax over my washing machine drum brazier, very satisfying big wax cake and also rewaxed a box of steamed frames. Could this be the first year I have actually cleaned and prepared all my kit before the start of the next season??

It’s been a year of highly improbable events so far, why not dream the impossible? 😁
