Yes, the bees near Aber were much further inland. We were talking earlier this evening about how envious we are of beekeepers when we are inland, but they don’t get to live by the sea either so it
is all a balance. We do have some out apiaries now that are further inland so hopefully we can have the best of both worlds…. Live by the sea but with a suitable home for ours bees in their country residence. 🙂

I console myself that keeping the bees alive is the most important thing. I guess the problem at the seaside is they can only forage in one direction. Are the Aberystwyth bees you visited any further inland?
