Nipped out to the “leak” apiary after lunch today to install a screen under the roof of the last hive I had to move and remove the supers (not necessarily in that order 😀
Then this evening I went back and closed up the hive. Whilst I could normally lift a double brood over the fence there was no way that has happening with this one. I had to barrow it about 100m down a bumpy slope to the gate at the bottom and then push it all the way back up to within 10m of where I started. It was exhausting.
Once installed in my home apiary I removed the ply that I used to close the entrance in the dark. I’ll remove the screen and put the super back on tomorrow.
