Moistness and monsoon may start with the same letter, but there the
similarity ends!
Here in the Midlands we had a good spring crop, despite incredibly heavy
swarming, but since beginning of July it has been either wet, windy or
cold - we had the coldest July day ever recorded. Rainfall for August is
2.5 times the average.
Except in a few locations, notably where there was borage, colonies have
gone backwards since the end of June. Now we have an absolute plague of
wasps - I have never seen so many - destroying numerous colonies.
