News on my bee?s. Checked them on 14th May, no queen and no new brood. That was five weeks after the swarm. Bee?s only last about six weeks so with out a new queen by the 21st I would be looking re-queening or finding a swarm. Some one suggested there may be a virgin queen in the hive but she had been unable to fly due to the bad weather. I checked again last Sunday 21st and there was lots of new grub she must have gone on a mating flight and was happily laying, the hive is safe for now. I seem to have wax moth, I have seen the larvae and a couple of moths. This needs keeping an eye on as they can destroy a hive. I also had my first harvest of the season with 15lbs of honey and will be harvesting again tomorrow. Only down side was I got stung on the side of my head. I think I have only been stung about seven times in as many years but each time the reaction has been a bit more severe than previously, this was no exception. Within half an hour my skin had gone red and I was itching like hell. Piriton treated that and I thought no more. The next morning I woke feeling fine but the side of my head where the sting was had completely swollen up and my eye was puffed up and closed. It cost me two days off work. I have now got a couple of Epipen?s just in case. I will load up some pictures over the weekend.
