Not a bad spot for an apiary… 🌸🐝

Part of the land surrounding one of our bee sites has been turned into a huge 300 acre wildflower field, with large areas of Crimson Clover now coming into flower.

This kind of planting is fantastic for: 🐝 Pollinators
🌱 Soil health
🦋 Wildlife
🍯 Strong healthy bee colonies

The sound walking through the field is unreal. Bees everywhere. With forage like this on their doorstep, colonies can build incredibly quickly and make the most of the season ahead.

This is exactly the sort of thing we need more of across the countryside. 👏

Not a bad office for the day. 🐝🍯
Thousands of bees out working the Buckinghamshire countryside from sunrise to sunset, bringing in nectar as fast as the colonies can store it.
What most people see is a jar of honey on a shelf.
What they don’t see is the endless lifting, feeding, inspections, queen rearing, swarm control, muddy fields and long days behind it all.
This is only part of the apiary… and spring has been absolutely relentless this year.
Every coloured box out there is a colony working flat out. 💪

Behind the scenes getting ready for nuc season 🐝
Busy building new nuc lids today. These sit on top of the correx travel boxes and allow the bees to be fed while still safely sealed up inside. It means the colonies can keep building right up until collection or dispatch day, helping customers receive bigger, stronger nucs packed with bees and brood.
A lot of work goes into good bees long before customers ever see them 👌🍯

Found this hornet queen already dead near the apiary today. Absolute unit of an insect. 👀

This is the time of year the queens are out looking to start new nests, so you suddenly start spotting them about. One queen can eventually produce a nest with hundreds or even thousands of hornets by late summer.

The bees won’t be complaining about one less flying around 🐝💪

One of the biggest swarms we’ve seen in a number of years 😳🐝
An absolutely enormous prime swarm safely hived this evening. The sound of thousands of bees marching into a new home is something that never gets old.
This colony would have left with the old queen and somewhere in this mass are tens of thousands of bees all working together to protect her while scout bees decide where to live next.
I’ve also got a video of them marching into the hive — and I think the queen might make an appearance right near the end 👀👑
Can anyone spot her? Extra respect if you can timestamp it before everyone else 😂

Swarm season is here! 🐝

This beauty decided to cluster up on a nearby branch this week. Swarms are a natural part of the hive cycle—it's how colonies reproduce and expand.

For us beekeepers, it's both exciting and a race against time. Catch them early, and you've got a new colony ready to build comb and lay eggs. Miss them, and they're off to find a new home.

This one's safely in a nuc now, settling in nicely. Spring is peak season for swarms—if you spot one on your property, give us a shout. We'll safely collect it and give it a new home.

Here's to the dance of nature. 🍯
