Oi, Wrighty play us some Quo!!! Just heard the sad news about Steve Wright, who brought us Mr Angry and my favourite from the 80's, the Horrible Voice. I'll play Alan Parson's Project Eye in the sky in tribute :( RIP Steve, taken far too soon.

Some wonderful entries of honey at the Expo!!

I thought I would share these photos of a crown board, the piece of ply covering the hole obviously moved and the small gap was propolised shut over winter. Earlier this year I noticed the single bee space they had made and decided to see what they would do. On Tuesday I found they had removed...

The part of beekeeping that I don't like, bringing home stowaway bees. I don't mind older bees, they generally fly out the window and off back home, unless you grab one when lifting a comb or one that flies up your T shirt, my only stings last year :D It's those poor little nurse house bees who...

Hope everyone's bees are safe. Currently, all I can think of are the poor Collared Doves nesting in my Rowan tree. Now anyone who has seen their nests will know they are far from sturdy, just a little raft made with thin twigs. They turned up nearly two weeks ago, have eggs and already rode out...

I found my watercolours and brushes the other day so I decided to have a play about. I also recently recovered all my old pictures and among the bee stuff were some pics of one of my apiaries at Christmas in 2010. The snow we had that year was incredible and I felt inspired. So here's a nice...

This was foundation last weekend. Happy bees :)

On Saturday, see you there. :)

I doubt it, Bramble and White Clover in blossom today in Llandaf and Limes following close behind.

Had to say goodbye to our beautiful companion today, she was a wonderful dog and will be truly missed. Pepper xx

Quick heads up, one contestant answering questions on beekeeping.

We had some great news today from our Daughter and Son in Law in Australia. They were interviewed by 'The Land' newspaper and have featured in the 'Farming Small Areas' magazine with the front cover and a two page article on their beekeeping. I'm feeling really chuffed and proud. Here is a pic...

There was a discussion a while ago about swifts and swallows taking bees. I've been looking through the window and just outside, in full sunlight, we have a cherry blossom and a skimmea which are always full of bees at this time of year. Over the past couple of years we've had a resurgence of...
