I got a soaking this morning. Then retired to the depot after a sausage sarny to restore the inner man. Knocked up a hive for a customer and listened to the rain beating down on the roof. Well the flowers need it! #davidthebeefarmer

A very busy day but most of it spent in traffic! Nice to finish the day in the field with the bees. #davidthebeefarmer

The picture does not do the colour of the pollen justice. It is much more vibrant. Pollen's colour is associated with the plant from which it came. Yellow is OSR, grey - Cow Parsley and blue = Spanish Bluebells to name but a few. #davidthebeefarmer
