"I have seen many hives this summer that have started the same as yours, and I must say your hive is copybook. You should be proud that you have achieved such a strong hive to go into the winter!"
Well we are now happily handling our bees with a 'good and steady attitude'...here are some of the latest pictures, notice the shine on their bodies. Shiny bodies = healthy bees = yummy honey!

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

Can you spot Sophia, our Queen Bee?
I see honeycomb
And just to mix the Birds and the Bees....here is a picture of some swallows, currently nesting in our dairy...hope they grow soon and fly to warmer climates before the winter comes:
