[QUOTE="John B, post: 11537, member: 207"] I have some lovely photos on my phone but have no idea how to get them from there onto this forum. I ate lots of wild raspberries and blueberries along with cloud berries . Even found a few patches of tiny wild strawberries. We would quite often pick a surplus for jams et cetera but it was hard keeping them away from the three year old grandchild. I have never seen anyone eat so many berries and that includes me. I have a lovely picture of him with the area around his mouth completely blue. The ideas I picked up on overwintering are mainly about how they get bees to survive for 5/6 months and whether doing the same thing here with the extra ventilation , insulation and damp prevention would make much difference here to hive health and winter honey consumption. I don't think it was really necessary in the past but with varoa becoming worse every year anything we can do to keep our lives healthier would be beneficial and perhaps one day essential. As a first step I might try out some of those new wool hive mats I saw at conference. [/QUOTE]
