Fortunately;ty for us we have been designated as key workers (food producers and sellers)...So every beekeeper is a key worker. I reckon if I keep a bee suit and a crate of honey in the car I should be pretty free to inspect/go fishing....
That's an interesting angle, but I really like it!

"every beekeeper is a key worker"
Aren't we always!
Aren't we always!
May your bees read the same books as you do.
Beek's don't need to use the 'Key worker' monika as we have live stock to tend to prevent disease and starvation as the minimum requirement.
I will also be contacting my Farmers where I keep bees and saying I'll be checking my bees but I do not want to talk to them in person.

Hopefully the BBKA will shortly issue a statement informing their members if travel to an out apiary is considered legal under Boris's new enforcements.
I can't even figure out if I can still work.
I have a single hive stuck in an out apiary and, looking ahead, thinking that things will get tighter and tighter - so exceptional measures are called for.
They are on 14x12 with an under-super (nadired for the terminologically picky). Normally I would remove that super and put it over the QE. However, after an apiary planning meeting (no wine served this time
) I am just going to leave it as is and now the oilseed rape is flowering, I'll pop a couple of supers on and come back in 3 weeks time.
I am going to end up with honey I cannot sell so I might as well give them lots of room to play with even if the risk is too much room.
