In this brief segment, Laurence Edwards discusses the common belief that Buckfast or "orange" bees are unsuitable for the UK because they cannot work in rainy conditions. He demonstrates that after placing a sheet of foundation in a hive just one week earlier, the bees have completely filled the box despite ongoing rain and without any supplemental feeding. This observation challenges the notion that these bees cannot function in wet weather and highlights rapid colony development under adverse conditions.
