This week P6/7 were taking their turn to clean the feeder for the bees and to clean the floor of the bee hive.

Next week we will be treating the hive for varroa mites and we need the floor to be perfectly clean so that we can count how many mites fall in a week.

we fed the bees a sugar solution made of 1kg sugar and 1 litre of water.

 

It has been very wet recently so they will not have had much food from the flowers!
