    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Nothing! Bees have retreated indoors again. Wind is from North at the mo. chilly. Thinking of changing my home-made 4 inch deep quilts for kingspan in the autumn. I found mould when I put oxalic on earlier in the year.

    Packed Comb Set

    This was harvested in early October and one side of the comb is dark, I thought Heather and the other light perhaps Himalayan Balsam as White Pollen Ghosts were foraging. I took a risk I know. Then the weather worsened and I stopped selling at the door. I am looking for an economical way to...
