Perfect day in the hills to check on some of the girls. The Ashton ladies all over wintered well and have come out strong with a great population, at least 3-4 frames of brood and all but 2 hives had 3 plus frames of honey left. Fresh pollen is coming in so the larvae are swimming in brood food. I manipulated the frames to give the queen access to an empty frame to lay in and made sure the honey frames were on the outside of the brood nest to help keep it warm in case we get a cold snap again.

3 more out yards to check on this week as spring is just around the corner.

The girls and I were enjoying the sun today and our first inspection since May showed they all got through and are starting to bring in the good stuff (pollen). Brood is building up so it won't be long now before the second boxes will need to be put on. Hopefully we have had enough rain for the trees to produce this season. Also found an unwelcome tenant who has been munching on some of my girls. Have all my out yards to check on the next nice day.

Over the last month I have shaken a jar of propolis and 96% Grain Alcohol daily to create my first Propolis Tincture. The propolis was harvested from my hives last season and has be slowly dissolved into the grain alcohol to extract the antimicrobial and antibacterial properties of the propolis.
Historically propolis tinctures have been used as a herbal remedy for sore throats, mouth ulcers, cold sores, bad breath, gingivitis and more.

🔥Starting a bit of R & D on Chilli infused honeys. Trialing the low heat of the Pasilla and Guajillo chilli's with 4 out of 10 heat, Chipotle @ 6/10. Kashmiri with 7/10. De Arbol @ 8/10 and the king of chilli's the Habanero with a 10/10 heat Level. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
They will infuse over low heat for 1 month before I check and see how well the chilli infuses or if I need to add another chilli to each jar and infuse longer. I like the idea of a whole chilli in each jar like the worm in tequila, but don't know if this will hinder the infusion process. Any chilli infusion experts out there have any helpful hints?

🎓🐝 I’m officially a graduate of Certificate III in Beekeeping with !

What an incredible experience it’s been learning alongside such passionate and inspiring fellow beekeepers. Huge thanks to David and Peter for their professionalism, generosity, and in-depth knowledge—this course was truly immersive and hands-on. They went above and beyond to give us a real-world view of beekeeping, from commercial to sideliner to micro operations.

One of the highlights was our trip to Kangaroo Island, where we were welcomed by legendary beekeepers at , , and . We asked questions, got our hands sticky, and saw firsthand how large-scale beekeeping runs.

We also learned how to build and prepare woodenware with (honestly, one of my favourite parts—who wouldn’t love playing with all the toys… I mean tools!). We explored nectar flows, native flora, tested for pests and disease, manipulated brood, collected pollen, raised queens, and tackled the challenge of feeding bees during one of the toughest seasons in years.

This journey has made me a better, more confident beekeeper. I already miss the monthly Bee School catch-ups with my dedicated and hardworking classmates. 🐝💛

Now, I’m excited to put everything I’ve learned into practice through my own business—BuzzRunner—where I’ll be sharing the buzz, supporting bee health, and helping others on their own beekeeping paths.

Massive thanks again to for creating such a rich, practical, and supportive learning environment. I’m so grateful for the experience and this wonderful beekeeping community. Onward and upward! 🐝✨

I couldn't find Australian hazelnuts in the supermarket, so I went on an online hunt. Bingo!!!
Using my own Adelaide Hills Cinnamon Infused Honey, I roasted Australia hazelnuts as a tasty protein snack and to add to my morning porridge. Tastes so good and I get to support another Australian business.

Honey for sale on my website www.buzzrunner.buzz but not the hazelnuts ... They are all mine 😁

Bees in a barrel cut out. Yesterday I rehomed a colony of bees from this barrel into a hive. They were the calmest and nicest girls I have ever met. Now to fatten them up for winter. The owner of the property is looking after them as he appreciated all the pollination they do in his beautiful garden. I think they are lucky to have each other.
