My wife and I have become interested in keeping bees after a visit to friends in France, we are both complete novices and just starting out. . We have decided this is best time for us to start so we can organize ourselves slowly into starting of this wonderful venture and hobby. I will be keeping the hive at the bottom of our back garden, were I am preparing the area in readiness to place the hive.

Le-Pige Hive Inspection
Sunday 26th June 2011, 12.00 did a inspection of Le-Pige with Linda, queen not seen but lots of brood and eggs laid, queen doing really well, the temp was 28degrees real hot day, but when opening Le-Pige no problems bees very calm.
Checked the super and one frame have nectar and they are starting on others, drawing them out.
I changed the queen excluder from plastic to metal see how it goes.
