Overdevelopment by midafternoon

Promising early morning conditions, but by the time we launched around noon, the clouds had began to get quit large. Most climbed out, but there was a distinct drift with the NE wind, and we tried to remain around the Piedrahita valley, most landing near Santiago or at Piedrahita. The first thunder around 4pm.

During the afternoon Stuart, Carol, Trevor and Fred came up to Tortoles with me to help do some bee colony manipulations, the main one being the transfer of a colony from a Langstroth hive to a Warré. That colony had previously been part of a split one month ago.
