We have 9 hives at the moment but it looks as though one has died out. It is the one on the left in the photo above. It was a swarm hive from last year but there is very little activity in it now. We will clean it out and use the hive for any new swarms - we are approaching the swarming season.
The other hives seem to be fine and in between the rain recently, there has been lots of activity by the bees.
Sorry to read about this, enjoyed reading your blog though ! Keep up the good work.
