I decided it was time to make up some frames for the hives as I probably will need to do some swarm prevention soon, if the weather stays mild (!). Spent the evening in front of the tele, nailing frames together, and thought that I should pick up some of the shavings before Jan got home.
Don't worry ... he didn't pick them all up and he left lots of little splinters all over the carpet for me to vacuum the next day before the kids ended up with feet full of them!
