Trading trays

Having started the apiguard treatment against varroa (those pesky blood-sucking mites that attach themselves to the bees and weaken them) a fortnight ago, it was time to change it today. With school in full swing, I once again took three pupils for a short and sweet not-quite-inspection.

All we did was change the medication in each hive: take out one tray and put in a new tray. However, a quick peek between the frames showed that the bees seem fine, though they were slightly befuddled and bemused (no surprise with the rain and temperatures we've been having). Lots of brace comb (yes, they've not been idle), so the next inspection will be good fun!

There is too much medication "on dose treyz"
