Laurence Edwards of Black Mountain Honey inspects his hives in winter, checking that colonies have enough fondant to survive until spring. Drone footage shows the apiary as snowdrops emerge and pollen sources return, signaling when bees will start raising brood again.
Hi, I'm Laurence Edwards from Black Mountain Honey. We're at the apiary today doing some winter inspections. We're just checking that the colonies have got enough fondant to last them through until the spring. The snowdrops are just about starting to come out, so pollen should start coming in. So we're getting to the point where bees will start bringing in pollen and hopefully rearing some brood. Agrobot John has kindly lent us his drone for the day, so we've done some aerial footage of the apiary. Hope you enjoy it and take a look around. So that's about it for today. I hope you've enjoyed the videos. Once again, many thanks to Agrobot John with the fantastic footage that he's put together, and hopefully we'll come back later in the season once more of the flowers have come out around the apiary and we can take a look at it from a different perspective. So if you've enjoyed this video, please subscribe to the YouTube channel. Thanks, and I'll see you next time.
