Did a couple of sheltered yards and they were pretty good with good stores and reasonable strength. One of the apiarys  was the one that had all the AFB last year so they got a pretty thorough brood check as well as having their entrances swabbed for some ongoing AFB research. They were all clear on the visual check so  the swab results will be interesting. If they do have AFB it tends to show up later in the spring in my experience..Hopefully they are now clear.The Taupo road was closed because of wind today which is the first time I can remember that happening so I definitely made the right decision not to go working bees up in the hills.</blockquote>
