So it's been a while since I posted and sorry about that but Trojan was really ill. First we thought it was just his colitis playing up but two trips to the vets later and he was still no better. It did get to the stage where he was so totally drained that we had to help him stand, walk and get in and out of the house. It resulted in hospitalisation and some very worried family and friends. Thankfully iv meds and fluids did the trick and he is now 100% himself again and we are one very relieved family who are very grateful to all the veterinary staff that took great care of him.
Of course whilst all that was going on we still had lives to get on with but wherever possible hubby and I worked in shifts leaving the house and we got dog sitters in too....nothing but the best for our Tro.
I did some queen marking for some fellow bee keepers, carried out some swarm control, moved the greenhouse and also got some planting done.
Of course all these activities could have been photographed to make this long awaited post exciting and visual...let me just check the camera to see what I have got......okay, I have nothing to back up what I just told you but have a little randomness,

Yes it's a chicken pecking at live bee larvae....and why not!! This was actually sent to me by a fellow beekeeper. If you'd like to know why you could check it out
here. If you aren't that interested then I haven't wasted time explaining myself!!
The weathers is pretty awful today but I was on the allotment shop anyway and I had decided to have a pretty laid back weekend....can you believe that another week and we have a bank holiday weekend?? I also get a week off as it's whitsun so maybe it will give me time to sort out the new greenhouse.
Talking of the new greenhouse....anyone know the best place to get replacement glass??
I will be back with a more scintillating post and some pictures before the end of the weekend...promise!
