Hi lois and hivemaker,
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

So, it's all about keeping yourself happy and my bees are part of that. Last day of Summer is a channel four film and it was made in my house!

Yep the weather has been diabolical, probably get a cold dry winter for us to worry about our bees

Poor honey harvest outside UK too but for other reasons - Italy has had hottest summer in living memory - 35C+ for 3 months in North.

It si so that Russian/Siberian high pressure stays on East Europe. The edges of weather area rain more or less.

Last summer was extremely hot. Now it was here quite cold. But however we have been near edge of Russian high pressure.

Quite happy without practicing anything,or would it alter the weather.

I've noticed this season in particular, however much I've talked about the weather, it hasnt made it any better.

Hi Hivemaker,
You misquoted me there that was Dalai Lama apparently. Not to worry a little compassion never goes amiss and it may brighten the day even if it does not affect the weather.

Is that you then,is that your real name?

All we need now is the almost inevitable call from the Beeb etc asking if its all down to climate change!!!!!!!

 

[Poly Hive]

Would quite like to be on the receiving end of come compassion. Oops sorry, typo...................where did the com come from?

 

[REDWOOD]

Try telling our government to be Compassionate, heard last week they are closing all the remploy factories

Could this season be a blessing in disguise?

The price is sure to rise with the honey shortage and stay at that price for next year.

That is if we do not get the same weather next year.

No the honey importers and commodity brokers have plenty of cheap honey from overseas... UK produced honey is small beer to them!
BUT possibly due to a bad harvest the price of local honey will remain steady as larger UK producers have stock they have not shifted from previous good years ... unless we have another poor year next year!
