Today I hope.
I have placed a red rug underneath the hives so that the weeds don’t grow through but now that I think abut it maybe I should turn that upside down. Can bees see red? I can’t remember. I shall look it up and fix that before I load the bees in.
Yesterday was dark and cold with rain and snow. Snow that flew past at a terrible face biting speed, on the way to somewhere else in a great hurry.
It was a rotton day yesterday.
Big Hugs. Today is dawning fine and clear, maybe we will even have sun after almost a week of rain and cold weather. Will spring come now?
Good morning. Daisy had her first once a day milking yesterday. I brought her in for a morning feed, her homeopathic anti-mastitis remedy and a good clean and check of her udder. Then I milked her in the afternoon. So far so good. I do hope that this time she will transition without any trouble. The sheep are out on the grass and after a few dry days I will let Queenie and her crew have a few hours of green grass a day. Though not until the ground is dry enough to take their weight.
This weekend the little chicks will come out of the basement and into their own outside run.
I shall get busy now and after feeding and managing my morning chores, I will finish the set up of the hives, load my sprayer with sugar water, and off we will go to collect the new bees. It is only about an hour away. I will pop you all under my arm and take you and camera house with me. We will have an outing today and I will show you the pictures tomorrow.
I hope you are all going to have a lovely, lovely day. Already I am enjoying this one!

Hope the clouds took their snow elsewhere and that spring is still finding its way to the heart of the farmie and new bees are happy xx Jo
