Yes I sneaked a peek, last Sunday! Susan saw her bees out on some cleansing flights on Friday, but she didn't see mine doing anything. So curiosity got the better of me and I decided to just peek into the hive between the top feeder and the top hive box. I waited for things to warm up a little, and I only 'cracked' the corner of the hive open in order to look inside for a couple of seconds.
Anyway, good news! I still have bees! Mind you I'm not sure what I would have done if I didn't see any!
Things are also warming up at the bee club. The Advanced Beekeeping seminar is on 20th February and I will be more than likely ordering a new hive then. I want to be in a position to either take advantage of a swarm, split my hive or bring in a new queen. I can't do anything without equipment though!
It's all getting quite exciting - Spring is just around the corner! But I better sweep away the snow from infront of the hive tomorrow morning...
