Starting The Year
I haven’t posted anything to this group since I set it up, so my apologies. However, this is the start of a new year and swarm season is almost upon us.
Sadly the two colonies I had last year died - my fault as I didn’t feed them.
In the next few days I will post some pictures of our apiary and cleaning operations as I prepare for the new season.
Plus I have a new toy - a bee vac to hoover up swarms. That should make operations a lot easier.
I intend for this site to be more than just beekeeping, and want to include some ‘mindful’ stuff. It is amazing the feeling you get when you are in nature amongst these wonderful creatures.
Talk again soon!
