Beekeeping holidays and luxurious B&B breaks in the sunny Charente region of France. Try beekeeping in style, individually or as a group or just come and stay.

Interesting to see that French beekeeping advice emails for August are all talking about jobs we used to do in the UK in September... What a difference the weather makes! When do you start to get your hives ready for winter? https://t.co/fuc39AbDFX

@archer_rs you are a legend sir... It may be wrong to admit to but we haven't laughed this hard for a good while. Thank you so much for sharing the ongoing saga :-) Just a thought... where will the tyre-fitter be spending his 14 day quarantine on his return to the UK?

[13 Bees @13BeesFrance]

@JuliaHB1 @archer_rs Oh dear...

[13 Bees @13BeesFrance]

Cannot stop laughing... so glad we are not these people :-)

Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation.

The blame apparently is with "Brussels".

A dozen surprise visitors turned up in our parkland garden yesterday but have vanished this morning... Thought these amazing looking birds were kingfishers at first but no! They are bee-eaters! Our bees must have been terrified for the day. New blog too https://t.co/NmrXKC8A7b
