The queen is getting into a beautiful rhythm and the workers are collecting a lot of nectar and pollen.

The best day of the year! 🐝

Shop local, support small-scale beekeepers, and enjoy real honey, made by bees foraging on flowers!

After our recent trip to the Hampshire Honey Show, where we attended a talk about honey adulteration with Lynne Ingram, it is a scary situation that the public unknowingly consumes what is infact not honey. We wish there was a magic wand to stop the adulteration of honey around the world so people could just enjoy real honey from their local beekeeper.

On closer inspection. 🔎
We know a lot of people struggle to see the queen's tiny eggs. Here's some close-up shots of our baby bees developing through all stages. Egg, larvae, and finally capped in their pupal stage.

It takes a worker bee about 21 days to develop from egg to emergence.

Sometimes beekeeping is about thinking outside the box!

Here, we ran out of equipment and had to use two supers as a brood box to combine a queenless nuc with a queenright colony.

Happy bees, happy beekeeper.

A trip to Spain wouldn't be complete without honey tasting and a look around some of the processing plant!!! 🍯🐝

It was amazing how many honeys were available, and the source really came through in the flavour. The main ones that stood out were Oak, Lavender, Lemon and Avocado 🥑
