Summer Bees

IMG_0958

Things are looking good at bee headquarters.  These long, hot sunny days are bee paradise:  plenty of sun, plenty of flowers, plenty of pollen, plenty of nectar.  Days of plenty.  Had a quick look in our hive at the weekend, and honey stores are building up, the queen's busy laying, and the colony's looking stronger and stronger.  All good news after a bad start in that cold, long spring (that seems like a long time ago now, doesn't it?).Happy days.  Summer days.  Days for bees.(the photo's of the queen trapped in a little cage so she can be marked to make it easier to find her.  The sound file?  That's what you hear if you stick a microphone in your hive on a warm summer's night...)Find out more about our Bees here.
