We three queens!!
Dear all
We have now received reports that we have three queens hatched, all from queen 61. Unfortunately this queen died but because she had already laid queen larvae and pupae they have been cared for by the workers of that colony. We hope that still more will come through from this nest. Many of the subt colonies are now outside foraging on red clover, this is hoped will give the colonies a further push for development. Fresh, good quality pollen is needed by this bee species and by providing this we hope we are giving them the best chance of developing new healthy queens.
I will also be giving a talk down at RSPB Dungeness on Sunday the 13th March from 3-4pm, do come along if you can make it.
Till next time....
Got a cool Hotmail story? Tell us now
