TP will be here at some point over the weekend and this is both welcome, and convenient. Welcome, because we enjoy his company and are keen to catch up with his latest news, and convenient because I have two very heavy wooden gates that need to be turned around, so that I can oil the reverse sides. We can then think about getting their installation arranged.
With TP arriving in a few days, today my focus was on applying the second and final coat of oil to the second gate. I can report that this has now been completed, and I'm hoping that the gate should be dry by the time he turns up.
I also wandered up to the hives and added a pack of fondant to hives #2 and #3. I still haven't performed a full inspection of the colonies yet. I plan to do this during the next spell of warm weather. I can see that the queens are now busy building up the colonies, and I'm wondering how soon it will be before I'm adding queen excluders and supers.
