The Bee Inspector is due to visit for a routine inspection of the hives for 2023 ... Posted on 27-06-2023   Routine inspection today
Hive 1 has another super filling with honey. Mostly capped but needs another week to be ready. Posted on 01-06-2023   Spun super frames returned to the hive
Eight spun super frames were given back to the bees to provide feed ahead of the June gap Posted on 01-06-2023   20 jars of saleable honey from hive 1
Hive 1 had one super containing over 20 lbs honey Spun and jarred this week Posted on 29-03-2023   One hive has survived winter
I fed the one remaining hive with bee fondant and will inspect it this weekend Posted on 29-03-2023   Site maintenance
One of the bee hive stands was close to collapse so I swapped it out with a newly built stand Posted on 05-02-2023   Hive 2 status
Very little activity but some signs of life Posted on 05-02-2023   Hive 1 status
Plenty of activity with cleansing flights Posted on 05-02-2023   The start of the new beekeeping year
I have been to site to check on the two active hives. I've ordered some bee fondant for both colonies. Posted on 19-05-2022   Hive 4
Another swarm has populated the last empty hive. A stronger swarm than hive 3. I will add a super to the brood box next week. Posted on 19-05-2022   Hive 3
New hive three! Swarm appeared on Tuesday and looks like they'll stay. Need to add a super to the brood box next week. Posted on 19-05-2022   Hive 2
Hive 2 is definitely preparing to swarm and may need to be split. Some honey in the first super. Posted on 19-05-2022   Hive 1
This hive is producing honey in the first super and will soon require a second. No swarm signs yet. Posted on 19-05-2022   Great progress!
A lot has happened at the site since my last entries
