Nick says it was 28 when he was out tending his bees. How much honey did you get this year, Vicky? It's been such a dire year for bees and now - I hope - a good finish for them for their winter stores. Why do you say that Sacha? All the beekeepers here were expecting a bad year as the weather has been diabolical and yet we have had a bumper year for our bees. We have all been analysing weather data and the mean temperature has been well below average, the mean rainfall has been well above average and the sunshine has been the lowest for 100 years. Only one thing has been different and that has been the lack of wind - and bees hate wind! Instead of wondering if we could keep them alive this summer, it now looks as if there will be a small honey crop. Phil Beekeeping in the Northern Highlands of Scotland, 40 miles north of Inverness |
