Been busy checking bees to ensure they are getting through winter ok. Pleased to report they are doing well. Woodpeckers tried to get into hives but wire has thankfully stopped them. It’s muddy out there, ground is water logged,so much so we got stuck!! 🐝🐝🐝

Spent today checking all our apiaries after the strong winds we have had. Pleased to report all are well -just the odd branch having to be removed πŸ‚πŸ Wonderful to see the snow drops making an appearance - the bees will love to forage on these once it warms up 🐝🐝🐝#honeybees

Bees are safely tucked away for winter 🐝hives are covered in wire to prevent woodpeckers - entrances covered by mouse guards. Supers stacked & stored to keep wax moth away. New apiary on edge of Lime tree woodland. Also maintaining apiaries & planting bee friendly hedges 🐝

Interesting article on a subject very close to our hearts.Our honey is as pure as can be. Filtered only once to remove any wax.All natural goodness remains. We are so proud of our product and our beautiful bees. Disgraceful that tampered honey can be called honey at all 🐝🐝🐝

We absolutely love this fabulous bee water station created by a very talented young lady - using a terracotta plant pot and dish. What a creative idea to attract bees to your garden and brighten up your outdoor space too - well done 🐝🐝🐝 #saveourbees

It’s been a hectic few weeks. We have been regularly checking the bees, jarring honey, preparing orders and claeaning, repairing equipment. Hopefully warmer weather is here for a time - the bees are longing to get out to forage 🐝🌸🐝🌺🐝🌼 #honeybees #saveourbees #apiarist
