Field notes
The page distinguishes a quick look—such as adding a super, checking stores, or lifting the crown board—from pulling brood frames. It advises against inspections from November through February regardless of mild weather, suggesting hefting the hive instead. Forecasts are attributed to Open-Meteo, postcode lookup to postcodes.io, and the page reminds visitors to use their own judgement at the hive.
