Yesterday I went to the further away apiary with my InstantVap. I've boasted before about how it does x hives in x minutes on one battery. Turns out it doesn't manage any hives if you forget to take the batteries. Job done today, in the cool misty air. What happened to the warm temps we were due?
 
Had jar of honey as a present from a beekeeper who had a couple of colonies off me in Spring this year, he was over the moon that they managed such a good harvest. I felt guilty taking it but he insisted and wants my opinion of his honey, it certainly looks good.
 
Wandered past the hives this evening after the bees have been very busy during the day to hear a couple of them humming, with fanning bees at the entrances.
That will be the quick-setting ivy honey that they then "can't use".
Amazing all my colonies aren't packed with it after foraging on ivy over a number of years! 😂
