    Orange pollen in October

    My bees are busy working nearby ivy which started flowering recently and bringing in bright yellow pollen. However a few hives are also bringing in some distinctly orange pollen - any ideas what this might be at this time of year

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    I have 1 extra label so I can vary the lot number and still order bigger batches of main labels. I could dispense with the granulation label, but like putting "unsuitable for children under 12 months.

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    72 lovely jars! I put the lids on as I fill them. Labelling takes me a while with 4 labels per jar: anti-tamper, main label, granulation label, bbe/lot number.

    OA. How much mite drop do you get?

    I've been using 2g for all sizes, nucs to double brood. I'm thinking I should go higher, at least for the bigger ones.

    New Beekeeping Vehicle Must Have

    I saw loads of these "built up" vehicles in Iceland when I walked across it all a few years ago, the sprinter was one of the most memorable, seeing a vehicle with massive wheels barrelling towards you and then seeing it started life as a sprinter van - amazing! Got to love the Icelanders! Great...
