Hopefully the beast will soon depart back to the east and spring will be with us properly.
The bees have already been out and about collecting pollen from the snowdrops on warmer days and so brood rearing is under way.
The local beekeepers will be meeting on Wednesday 7th March at 7.30pm in the back bar of the Neidpath Inn Peebles.
We will be planning the new season at the association apiary. Advice will be on hand for beginners and improvers.
Anyone who is interested in bees and beekeeping is more than welcome to join us.
See you there,
Peter.
