Ventured down to the beehives this morning when there was a brief sunny spell. The rain started just as I was smoking the entrance but the weather held long enough for me to change the feeder of sugar syrup and have a quick peek inside the brood box. Didn't spot the queen but the girls were quiet and gentle, bringing in nectar and pollen. I saw some young bees emerging from their brood cells. Closed the hive up just as the rain came down heavily, will investigate the meaner, neighbouring hive another day.
