After our long dry autumn the bees are well prepared for the coming winter - whatever it may bring- hopefully! Guarded against mice and the green woodpeckers we hope that they will stay safe and undisturbed till the spring. 

 

We've been making candles and mead so are looking forward to a long undisturbed winter - just like the bees !


 


 


 The Co-Op   Plan B

This year we have been helping the Co-Op promote beekeeping in and around the South East.  They organised days for people interested in becoming beekeepers and had information stalls at Sustain's honey festival on the South Bank in the summer and at the National Honey show at the end of October as part of their 'Plan B ' campaign which is supporting valuable research into pollinators, including honey bees.
