Visits

I had a visit from Adam and we sat in the sun, listening to the combine and talking about the exchange trip he has just returned from in Kenya .http://www.sjlhskenyaexchange.weebi.co.uk  , they will be doing car parking again at Henham steam rally to raise funds to bring some African pupils and teachers to Beccles next summer.
Kathryn also joined us with a gift of willow they had just coppiced. Although not perfect for weaving with there was just enough bend to allow me to practice my basket making and play as well.

The bees do not like the api var 2 hives had covered the first strips completely with propolis and last night the third hive managed to get the strip out from on top of the brood box ,through the super and on to the front step. Bees are amazing .
