DAY IN MY APIARY

Its been a lovely day so decided to do some apiary work. Started of by building frames to go over the Monsieur Antoine hive this is to keep the woodpeckers from deciding to drill it. I shall construct it Sunday morning. At the garden apiary i used new smoker it seems to be bit volatile lol, I then took of the autumn feeders , next feed will be fondant. I hefted the supers and it looks as if they are full of food for winter which is good, also the bees in both hives are doing well, still bringing stuff in, probably ivy. All in all had a good day in the Apiary, just few pictures posted of today's work.
