First frost

[MickBBKA]

I think its the earliest for quite a few years last night, cars frozen. I have just returned from 2 weeks on Orkney to find a colony wiped out by wasps while I was away. Hopefully the drop in temps will see them off. Sick to the back teeth of them this year. I will have to redesign my floors over winter to incorporate the wasp defense entrances when required some of you have suggested.

Barely saw a wasp this year and it was a big surprise given the invasion of the previous one.
I put wraps on in the new year and taking them off in spring I found lots of queen's that I squished.I think that may have helped.
Still 6c overnight here even when it's not raining

Not seen many wasps this year, however was talking to my neighbor this morning stood by his ivy hedge which is in flower. It was alive with wasps and bees; my bees are bringing back pollen despite a temperature of 6 degrees.

Soft Teessider ...we had our first frosts a couple of weeks ago!
Going to be changing all my nucs to the Hive Gate system as it seems to work really well. Expensive, but so is a nuc...
You need the periscope as well for nucs, but just the tunnel for full hives.
