Equinox Check

A very sunny day although on the cool side. Fliers about. Stores of sugar and candy still available. Gave the colony an additional 2kg solid sugar. One frame of sealed honey removed for temporay storage from the brood box, being replaced with an almost empty one. Three frames full of sealed honey also harvested from the supers. This I hope will stimulate the colony to increase in the next few weeks and also reduce the risk of early swarming. Colony treated for varroa with Hive Clean.
