Please keep your eyes open for Asian Hornets - they are a non-native species and are a real menace. If you see one, take a picture and immediately report it on the Asian Hornet app.
Saturday queen bee spotting challenge! Can you see her? The queen is much longer than all the other bees in the hive and moves in a different way. If you are a beekeeper it’s helpful to be able to spot queens quickly.
It really feels like nature has woken up at last! The spring has properly arrived here in North London.
Big trees like Horse Chestnuts can have 1000s of flowers at once and are amazing sources of forage for bees. Horse chestnut pollen is a distinctive red, and it’s easy to spot in the hives. #londonbeekeeper #springforage #beefriendly #londonparks
What a difference a day makes! On Sunday morning we had our bee club shed party (a get together at the start of the season) and we shivered in the pouring rain, then yesterday the sun arrived! ☀️ Our bees desperately needed to get out and forage
All our honey comes from our hives in North London 🍯 🐝
Most types of bee in the UK are solitary- meaning they don’t live together in nests. If you spot little volcanoes of earth on your lawn or garden you may be lucky and have one making her nest! Ashy mining bees don’t have a sting, so they are great bees to observe closely.
After loads of deliberation we’ve splurged and bought this little jarring machine from @maisemore_apiaries_ltd This is a the first time using it - I had 100 mini jars to fill and it was a breeze. Big thanks to John at @maisemore_apiaries_ltd for quickly answering my questions
We’ve got quince, cherry and apple blossom in our garden waiting for a little bit of warmth! I’m hoping that our home bees will find them today so we get some fruit this year. 🍎 🍒
Sometimes queens are easy to spot and sometimes they are really elusive! Can you see her?
Big thanks to @GaryMcGibbon and @lauren_leonard_ for your help moving the hives this morning. Every spring we bring the bees back to this roof top - they spend the winter at ground level because it’s too exposed up there. Let’s hope they have a wonderful season!
A couple of coats of paint protects our nucleus hives. These mini hives get used again and again over the season, for collecting swarms, housing splits, raising new queens, overwintering bees and for moving colonies. #beekeeperslife #londonbeekeeper
A beech wood with a carpet of bluebells - it must be springtime in the UK! There is something magical about bluebells in woodland. They never photograph as well as they are in real life and of course you can’t capture their sweet fragrance, but I hope that you enjoy this anyway
Bees make wax from their own body - brand new wax is usually very pale yellow, almost white - except when they’ve been foraging on something like dandelions.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if all lawns were like this? Just think of all that extra forage and habitat there would be for pollinators. #beeflovers #plantfortheplanet #beegarden #beethechange
Gino from @simplyhoneyco in Edinburgh has been staying for a few days - it’s been such a pleasure to talk nonstop about bees and honey! It’s also lovely to have someone here who understands why there is beekeeping stuff in every room in the house 😂

A great day in Apiary 2, all Hives Demeree , mixed bag some colonies decided to superceed - poorly mate queens from last year!? But there is weight in the supers! Also made up 5 apidea for queen rearing I’m knacked!
@HighgateHoney Yea, I think that’ll probably be hitting the budget pretty soon. We’ve sold an incredible amount of honey this year and it’s all been hand-jarred. That’s just not sustainable.
As all beekeepers do, we are constantly checking the weather forecast. We’ve just checked again and noticed these funny symbols that we don’t recognise - does anyone know what they mean????

Finding myself doing more and more shake down dems. Havent got the time looking for queens.
Dont know why a few folk feel the need to go nosing into our hives....we find a few examples each year. Does anyone else think this is OK? I would NEVER go into anyone elses bees uninvited.
@calluna4u Without being drawn into a poly vs wood debate; wood definitely takes a direct hit with a rock better!
I do think it’s criminal that beekeeping associations are allowed to have full charity status and yet trade in selling beekeeping kit as if they are a normal company - something very wrong with charity status abuse 🔔
@_richwild_ Sounds about right😂. Hope she gets better soon🤞🏼
Yeah smash it down hun there's no need for it to be there then you could have a nice big waldrode. 😏
@HoneyGirlGrows @calluna4u @ElmTreeBees I found the exact opposite when I was a government bee health inspector Part of the reason I left the job was because I was so sick of seeing clueless hobby beekepers neglect and kill bees in countless different ways, then just buy more bees, without learning a thing. Depressing
@britishbee And warming them in a honey warming cabinet at 37°C for half an hour is even easier; you can do a dozen or two at a time and simultaneously drink coffee, play with the dog or search for your lost smoker. #multitasking
