Fantastic picture again. Was that at your Alnwick apiary ? its been bleeding freezing here in Billingham today although 6c was 2c higher than its been every day since last Sunday.
Thank you Mick..yes that is my Alnwick spot..it is a funny old location with it being in a kind of valley on hilly ground.. it makes it sheltered and a lot of the early forage is also sheltered and it seems to be a couple of degrees Celsius higher than when i go to slightly higher ground ..for some reason with it being slightly lower to sea level than the surrounding hills the forage fires up a week earlier than 200yrds away on higher ground..with it being like that the forage seems to last longer with the earlier forage fading and then going up the hills in a kind of wave..
My Hartlepool apiary had very little activity today which will probably be on par with your location weather and temperature wise..
