Looking forward to meeting the ladies at The Chaddesley Corbett WI. September is an interesting time for the honeybees, the drones are being kicked out, oh yes far more dramatic than being asked to leave, they workers literally throw them out and won’t allow them back in! Why, coz they’ve done their work and will add nothing more to the colony other than eat up the stores! The queen is slowing down on her laying and they are getting themselves ready for the winter months ahead!
