Honey Home

Our bees have been busy taking advantage of end of season blooms – including the Eucalyptus flowers and the nasturtiums

So a few days ago was a chance to see what they were up to at home

Both colonies seemed pretty happy and healthy

This one was a bit short on stores so we filled up the rapid feeder.

This one

had better supplies

Time to remove the queen excluders

This one was a bit stuck down but we got it off eventually

So far the wasps have not been the threat they were a couple of years ago when they wiped out one colony.

Here’s to a cosy and well fed winter
