A reluctantly spectating former beekeeper due to a bee-sting allergy. I dream of being a pilot. Do I have to use all the letters they give me for this bit...?

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@flightradar24 I’m surprised to see one of the aircraft from @RAF_Luton showing up on @flightradar24

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

That’s that then. Immunotherapy hasn’t fully fixed my #bee sting allergy so my bees are now under someone else’s oversight. Gutted - but it’s for the right reason. Stay safe everyone!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@BatleyBeekeeper I just did - I’ve used it once and found it to be excellent. But the ultimate test is how it stops getting stung (which isn’t guaranteed) and I’m considered a risk.

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

I’ve just had my last #bee sting immunotherapy jab cancelled so I’m done. But, I was told by nurse I should stop #beekeeping. I’m not ‘cured’, I showed signs of reaction during the course. I think she’s right...

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@flightradar24 Just set off...

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Experience suggests @LDNLutonAirport security has been taking hints from other airports: staff arguing with each other, passengers unblocking X-ray machines and no people-flow leading to long queues. It begs the question what differentiates @StansaidAirport from others now?

Who knew this blue stuff was above the clouds?

@OpenFarmSunday #ofs19 If this farm was any more local, we’d live here!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

WOW. The @rafredarrows just passed low over Daventry. White ‘smoke on - go’ right over the top of our house. Thank you @RAFRed1 - brought a tear to my eye - the noise made my daughter cry a bit! Perhaps a bit much to mark the building of my new BBQ...!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Swarm that chose bait hive has now drawn a full brood box with eggs/larvae in 8 frames. All in a week. #bees = wow!

Two Max 9 aircraft flying from BOS and YUL to PTY...? An error, a ferry or a lift of restrictions? @planefinder

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Seems I scraped a pass in Module 8... literally scraped a pass but it means I’ve done them and now have an Advanced Theory Certificate. I’m sure my CV will be more interesting as a result...!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Module 8 done. Glad it’s all over (if I pass). 7 exams - one every six months - is a long haul when you have work/family/other interests... going to get on with something else now!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@BizzleBugs Not this module but she is taking an exam

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Cramming for Module 8 exam tomorrow... 🤞🏻

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@newapiaryuk Good luck for tomorrow by the way!!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@newapiaryuk Module 1 seems years ago... specifically about four years ago - eek! On the face of it, it was ‘simple’ but several people failed as they thought they knew the answers but didn’t put ‘obvious’ things in their answers.
I have also retreated to wine and TV...!

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

@SheffieldHoney Just to be sure, does the same rule apply to us ugly followers as well...?

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

Morning and Happy Christmas! Quick bike ride this time in the morning - who knew this place could be so beautiful...

[Joel Wymer @Bees13uk]

A whole street in Siana selling honey, olive oil and their local brew Souma (hic...). A beautiful, quiet village in the mountains of Rhodes. Don’t tell anyone...
