Had a great time at The Beekeeping Show, shattered, looking forward to going home tomorrow πŸπŸ‘

Some colonies have not been moved in ages, so much so that ivy is growing over them πŸ˜‚

Road trip day, off to visit another Bee Farmer and then over to The Beekeeping Show in Telford πŸπŸ‘

Packing myself up ready to head off to Telford for The Beekeeping Show this Saturday, leaving early tomorrow as I’ve a few bee farmer visits to do onroute πŸ‘ #BeeFarmer

Nice to see the bees flying, good for them to stretch their wings after a long cold spell πŸπŸ‘

About to prepare some blossom and heather cut comb #BeeFarmer

Could have been Kamala Harris, a really nice lady, it could have been so different ☹️

On the plus side I’ve been out delivering honey restocks to the following dudes : - The Little Sausage Shop - Cricket View Cafe - Weston Park Museum Shop - Mesters Market - Knabs Farm Shop - Whirlow Hall Farm - Ranmoor Butchers - Malin Bridge Mini Market

Shocking to see what’s going on with the USA and its traitor president, America turning to its friend Russia - never thought I’d see this moment in history 😳 support πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Already warming up here 😬

Just finished preparing blossom cut comb πŸ‘

Rushing to get orders out tomorrow, working on blossom cut comb tonight #BeeFarmer

I’m standing by this πŸ˜πŸ‘

Despite today’s early snow and the cold temps the rest of Winter could well be warming up and then it’s Spring! models suggest warmer weather for the next 2 weeks and that’s Winter over β„οΈπŸ‘

Cold and snowy start to the day ❄️

Looks like warmer weather later next week maybe, good for the bees to clear out and tidy up, cold is good but the bees need to stretch their wings every now and again through Winter β„οΈπŸŒžπŸ‘

Road trip next Friday to the Beekeeping Show in Telford, back on the Sunday πŸ‘

Been fixing a trailer today, 4 new tyres, electrics are a mess too πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Tastes ok though

Working on honey today jarring borage and blossom honey, more tomorrow inc deliveries too #BeeFarmer

I thought the β€˜max’ was the caffeine? πŸ˜‚

Big honey restocks delivered over the weekend to the following amazing places :- Our Cow Molly Bradwell Post Office Castleton Farm Shop Olive Tree Farm Shop (Sparrowpit) Cheese & Wine Emporium (Bakewell)

Currently just finishing up in the honey room after doing some extraction work #BeeFarmer

Trump is even trying to ruin the Super Bowl for me

Still snowing above 300m with slight snow cover ❄️❄️❄️

Off out delivering honey to stockists in the Peak District and Sheffield πŸπŸ‘

So far a nice sold cold winter to keep the bee activity very low and plenty of stores to keep them fed ❄️ much better than recent years

Working on heather cut comb later this evening πŸ‘

Ps I hope Tesla suffers like no other business 😁

Busy few days of jarring honey and cutting up cut comb and then the deliveries, two restocks today include : - Bon Cafe at Broomhill - Millennium Gallery Gift Shop More deliveries to do in a couple of days πŸ‘πŸ

Been jarring softset honey all morning, now off to do some tidying up outside #BeeFarmer

This apiary is ready for Spring, each hives with a perm feeder and two empty supers above them, can only do this if sites are sheltered - this is to avoid the mad panic to push supers out in March and April πŸ‘πŸ

Reminder πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Pushing wet honey supers out to sites ready for Spring, seems pointless storing away only for a mad panic in March/April - placing them above feeders so not on the bees ok πŸ‘

Been jarring honey and doing deliveries today, restocks of honey delivered to: Our Cow Molly Malin Bridge Mini Market Nature’s Way Kelham Deli Cricket View Cafe (Bradfield) Eves Fruit Store

In exactly 4 weeks time it will be Spring, 1st March and the long Winter will be over 🌼🌞

Been working on jarring honey and doing deliveries these last two days #BeeFarmer

Possible snow on its way…

Shocked to see ppl opening up colonies in the middle of winter, why? Fully fed so can’t be starving this early

Snowdrops making the big move!!

Some early blossoms on the move right now….

Checked every apiary site now after last weeks storms and no issues to report πŸ‘

Currently working on blossom honey extraction #BeeFarmer

Truck passed MOT with clean sheet πŸ‘πŸ˜

Out delivering honey before dropping the truck off for its MOT, say a prayer please 😬

This does annoy me, attached all because the moronic minority can’t be bothered to re attached the lid before recycling, my guess is these same rejects don’t recycle anyway

Just finished doing a little heather honey #BeeFarmer

Checked half our apiaries and no damage found as yet πŸ‘
