Checking on The Granary ...

After the gale force winds we had over the last 24 hours, I made a quick trip to The Granary to make sure all was well with our colonies over there. The high winds had not caused any problems for the hives and all was secure.

Whilst there I took the opportunity to put an empty hive (MINT) onto the stand next to SAGE (on the left). This is there for emergency use in case we find a swarming situation during an inspection. I also added a new floor next to APOLLO (on the right right) in preparation for moving ZEUS (on the blue stand) during winter.
