    Selling honey at the gate: is weight info on the label mandatory?

    I put a two year date on mine only because customers will eat it quicker and buy more honey 😉

    White marking on flying bees

    And I was going to say it’s a very rare trait of bees that never swarm and collect huge amounts of honey 👀

    Register your food business with your local council they are only there to help you. I had to send my label via email to be approved because of covid restrictions. The lady told me I didn’t need a batch number if I put the date it was processed

    What output tube heater for DIY warming cabinet

    It all depends on how thermal efficient your fridge is, the older ones are not that good. If your heater wattage is not enough the honey will take forever to warm and might not even get up to temperature In cold conditions. I made a PIR warming cabinet, holds one 30 pound bucket and use a 40W tube.

    Winter preparation

    You don’t want to get ivy honey in your supers as it will go solid virtually straight away and a bugger to remove if they haven’t eaten it in the spring. Its all weather dependant, a prolific colony can consume a super a week this time of year. Keep doing your weekly inspections and make sure...

    New nuc with queen cells

    If you knock down queen cells they will make more and cap them off in 5 days. The queen will then fly out of the hive with the swarm, fall to the ground, the bees will return to the hive and wait for for new queens to emerge. Hopefully with one remaining QC they won’t swarm
