Who knows, may be they test/taste every sample of honey in China before produce it in the UK? It's a hard work. For example there the experts work hard around the world to select the best ingredients 🤭 👏👍

The gloomy days of fog and icy rain have been changed by the clear sky, sunshine and frost. This night is going to be the coldest one -14C, the sunset was coloured in pink. This is the continental arctic air. 10-15 cm of snow is covering the ground, nature is sleeping. This morning was...

Thank you. I often feel sadness, it is destructive emotion in big doses. However people in the frontline are in more hard conditions. I was too optimistic about electricity. Yesterday they launched over 100 missiles and 90 drones - one of the most powerful air attacks. 85% of missiles were shot...

I hope so. Our media painted Trump in black colours because democrats gave them a lot of money. If that women had won, my intuition says, it would be another year of many good words and nothing more. After the geriatric zombie that woman (with disgusting views - in my opinion) looks like another...

Sure, the same effect, nature itself gives that relief. The last my visit of the apiary was in October 22. Varroa treatment and fast observation. The colonies have enough honey which they harvested in dry conditions of August and September. This harvest was provided by late buckwheat, very...

As for honey the season was not good. There was a heat wave in July. The temperature reached unbelievable 40C when sunflower flow started. Sunflower likes hight temperatures, 30-33 is good, but it was too much even for sunflower. The bees worked in the morning and in the evening, not...

Many times wanted to write about my affairs but it's like to write a composition at school. So, the season is over. Usually November is a gloomy month with gray sky. But a week ago the weather was fine, I walked in a valley where I live and made photos, some are here. 20 years ago when I...

Hello! Winter is over here. There were a few warm days even in February but now the weather is very good. Warm air from the Mediterranian has brought 24-26 C, that's very unusual for this time. Forecast promised this for 4 days and then return to more "natural" conditions near 15 C. All my...

How? :unsure: Don't know about China, but here the best price is 1.07 Є/kg, if you have at least 1 ton (2205 lb). The buyers take samples and control the product according to the EU standarts. They say the analysis is very expensive. If you have some problems such as high water percentage...

I was riding bicycle when a policeman stopped me for "a minute". He said my face is familiar for him. I said I often ride here because I have an apiary there. He said he had to inspect my backpack for "suspicious substances, objects, or guns". I had an empty bottle and a notebook. I said I was...

Last year Britan was at the first place in the rating of false honey imported to the EU. That honey was bought in China by the EU companies. For some unclear for me reason they used Britain in the scheme of import.

Usually it's a time for winter preparation. But the weather is far from normal for September. Some days the temperature reached 28 degrees. The bees (and wasps) are active, but they hardly can find something in the fields so robbing small colonies is an option. Got three colonies, completely...

I like it with cream, jam, honey, cheese. Don't have the idea how to eat all those products otherways. That word is obviously originated from the common basis which means "to bake".

double bliss with this: How do you call it in Croatian language? (just interesting for linguistic comparison)

Away from bad things. Nice weather persists. Too hot at daytime but in the morning is peleasant. Two days ago there was 37 degrees, I think this is the record temperature for several years. 6 a.m.

There are two syrens nearby. When the wind blows from that direction they howl like hell, as if it's in the backyard. But at that night one of them didn't work and another one was not so "hellish". I don't know why. People install special applications on their devices. I don't have it, I use...

Last night was surprising. I did not hear the alarm, but somehow get up when the air defence started shooting. Night air was clear. There were drones, you know, those Iranian type called Shakhed, we call then "moped" because they have 2t engine and their sound is the same. But it was the first...

It also depends on the time and natural conditions. Sometimes they don't pay attention and you can do whatever you want. I watched a video how a commercial beekeeper worked with many hives. He took the supers with bees and put them aside. When he completed that work, the first supers were...

It's wonderful how they are playin with this covid agenda. I don't deny the danger of covid for some people but it seems to mee it's not so black. For example, here it's not the matter any more. Nobody cares whether you are vaccinated, have boosters or not. Nobody is monitoring new cases. (I...

I also try something unusual. I've started from a citrus tree. Initially that tree, the unknown wild variety from a seed, was in a 30 litres plastic barrel. The barell began to fall into pieces after several seasons when I moved it to the backyard in spring and back into the house in autumn. I...
