The school has decided to go all out on social media and the stars of the first facebook film are to be the bees. Selecting two pupils who have been beekeeping before, Mr. V and I went to the hives to fill up stores, if necessary, check up on the Star debris and show off the bees a bit for the cameraman (another teacher). The whole inspection was filmed, though in about 14 separate shorter clips, as the bees kept on showing too much interest in the camera, forcing the cameraman to stop filming fairly frequently. I hope their new status as stars doesn't turn my lovely little bees into temperamental divas!
The bees had not taken a lot of the stores, but we replenished what was gone. A quick look at some frames showed that all is fine with the Moon. Not all frames are full with stores yet, but then I didn't expect that.
The Star frames still have some honey on them and we spotted quite a few bees buzzing around them. Although a number of wasps made their presence felt (and also felt the edge of my hive tool), I decided to keep the Star box and frames out for a little longer.
No photos, as I expect a film on facebook!
