As the year winds down!
I HAVE TAKEN THIS YEAR TO HOLIDAY with the Family.
As the year winds down, I will not be stopping, or slowing down.
Well,, as the year is coming to the quite months for me and natural beekeeping I am now focusing on two other, very important items.
I will be putting a set of training and lectures together with all the course work as .PD's, as well as exams with certificates.
But what I am really going to be pushing for is: to have all HONEY that is sold to be categorised so customers can be better informed and educated as to what they are putting in their bodies.
Three classifications
* Honey syrup : any honey that contains any synthetic Honey. In other words honey not 100% made by honey bees. (This is most of the honey in your supper market.)
* Farmed Honey : Any honey that was from bees that where fed. Fed anything inside or outside the hive, pollen or sugar or any derivative or anything that can be considered food.
* Honey: you would think this would be self explanatory , however it still needs an explanation. ( non of the above)
I will then later see if I cannot add another category
* WILD HONEY : Honey from bees that have had
1: No Feed
2: No swarm control
3: No chemicals
4: No unnecessary killing of bees. (No skep honey harvesting in the traditional way>)
AND this must be on every description on the container. so they cant have HONEY on the front then under the description have Honey Syrup

Christopher Robin family home
There are no bees at the Christopher Robin family home on open days. But originally there where. Also the BEE TREE mentioned in the books would have existed but no knowledge of it seems to exist in modern knowledge.
Now what seems like Very old News!

Another swarm story from Cornwall
1. First they came
Hi Kevin,
I thought you'd be pleased to hear that I now have bees in the hive I bought from you last Autumn. Just by chance I happened to be in my orchard digging ragwort and thistles out and noticed a swarm in one of my trees, what a beautiful site.
2. Then in they where put
I'm assuming that they have swarmed from my original colony in 'The Bee Shed'. So not wanting to leave it to fate and hope they'd find the hive I called a friend in and she scooped them all up and transferred them to the hive.
3. the rest then just walked in
3. the rest then just walked in
Such a fascinating thing to watch as they stragglers walked up the ramp into the hive. They have settled in nicely and there is a lot of activity around the hive now 2 days later.
Kind regards

2022 summer overview
Over view of 2022
Hay Bee-fans, well I will be only referring to the hives I have had direct contact with.
Well with the long dry hot spell swarms seemed to not have stopped earlier than one would expect this year but the drones seemed to have diapered earlier than normal as well.
So in spring we had quite a few really nice strong swarms emerge from surviving winter with still quite a bit of stock.
The normal occasional loss from mice and colones that succumbed even with honey in the hive, for whatever reason . but these where , I would say lower that average.
But as a net result we have had exceptional honey harvest from some quarters.
And another thing that has been noticed is the size of existing swarms getting ready for winter seem much larger than normal with still loads of activity.
So all in all quote an exiting year.
