[QUOTE="John B, post: 11618, member: 207"] Did my hives the other day and they aren't too bad considering the conditions. We actually had four reasonable days in a row but we are back to cold, wet and crappy again. It would have to be one of the worst springs I can remember. I would normally be supering up by now but between the bad varoa in the autumn and a terrible spring the bees are two weeks behind normal. It's one of those years when you just have to roll with the punches and do the best you can. Even after 50 years you can get everything right every time and the weather certainly doesn't help. How is everybody else doing out there. Hobby hives around town often do better than commercial hives in these sorts of conditions. Swarming is the least of my worries at the moment but it can come on pretty quick with on-again off-again weather . Trouble is our weather is off all time. [/QUOTE]
