Where is mummy?

It's been a while, I know. But we are having a few Jeremy Kyle style issues with our girls. Firstly they did away with Peg. Then before we got a new queen a slutty worker decided to start laying in the honey stores, getting far to big for her station. Then we got another new queen, and she too has gone AWOL. Today is the moment of truth as there were still signs of laying last week. But if today there are no eggs, we know the girls have kicked her ass to the curb and unfortunately that's it for the hive this year. I'll keep you posted.

Where are the bees in Malta?

I'm a bit thin on the posts at the moment, this is due to sunning myself in Malta. Don't worry, the hive is being looked after by the crack team. I have to say though, I'm alarmed at the lack of bee sightings in Malta. I think I've seen one, and even then it was at a distance so I'm not sure. You can't describe Malta as having lush greenery, more dry brush so the lack of flowers will be a big reason. It's weird though! I'm not used to seeing so much sun and so few bees.
