Eat, sleep, bee-keep, repeat…

Tonight I’ve finally filtered and jarred some Staindrop honey from April’s harvest. Apologies if anyone has messaged recently about honey and are waiting…this is the moment I’ve been waiting for 🐝❤️

Apologies to anyone who suffers with trypophobia!

This is what we love to see in hives! Brand new honeycomb drawn out and full of eggs and larvae ❤️

For a worker bee, the time between the egg being played, and a bee hatching is 21 days! It’s 24 days for a male drone.

It’s been a mammoth bee keeping weekend, and today we did a 12 hour day finishing at 10.30pm.

The girls have left the gorse up at Toft Hill and are now back in Staindrop 🐝

Tomorrow evening, jarring commences 💪

This is what the bees at Staindrop are foraging on 🐝

We are so lucky that the farmers who own the land next to us have planted acres and acres of mixed clover. It’s beautiful to see, and the bees love it 🥰

This recent hot weather has done wonders for the hives ❤️

When frames of honey are capped with wax like this, they are ready to come off and spin 🙌

Look at the pollen baskets on this beautiful bumble bee!!!

You’ll now find me most evenings in the garden trying to video bumblebees 🥰

Listen to the sound of a newly hatched virgin honeybee queen!

Queens are said to pipe to mark their arrival once they hatch, especially if there are more queens in the hive.

This queen hatched during an inspection, so we’ve taken her to start a new hive. She will live in this small mini mating nuke, and once she’s mated and is laying eggs, we will gradually move the bees in bigger and bigger hives.
