I messed up not taking hives to our CBKA location at Commondale, some are onto their 4th supers there and I thought it was not going to flower very well looking at it in August and that's only over the next hill from Westerdale where mine are. To be honest I think a cloud just follows me around...LOL
Believe it or not there is still quite a bit of Bell heather in flower....................

On another note, one colony there has superseded its queen. It was on double brood and now has no brood, completely abandoned the supers and filled every nook and cranny in the 2 brood boxes with honey. Pffff !
That's gonna be fun to lift onto the pickup.
