Just published, my ebook on tree beekeeping. https://t.co/qdS74voMO5

@guardianeco Artificial breeding and mass importation of bee species from southern Europe are very damaging to honey bee genetics in the UK as well as other pollinator species that have to cope with these egregious honey farms.
Poor article: Baby Bees ?! and nobody is going to burn any bees.

@pollinisation @JTgoatisland @NaturalBeeTrust @BeeKindHives Question we should be asking based on recent science. Should it be legal to treat.

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

@heidiskrzypek @JTgoatisland @NaturalBeeTrust @BeeKindHives Depends on local legislation, but there are thousands of wild hives in the U.K. why would you make nature illegal!

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

@pollinisation @JTgoatisland @NaturalBeeTrust @BeeKindHives Most hives have varroa. Trouble is if you treat for varroa and have hive packed together in an apiary you are selecting for varroa virulence.

Just added a new video on working with swarms and filling a sun hive. 👍 https://t.co/FtFoXCI8q1

@NaturalBeeTrust Like other freedom/log hives, this filled with a swarm in 2 weeks. Tree hives thrive without chemical dependency in the UK @NaturalBeeTrust

Just installed a freedom hive for father-in-law's 80th birthday! "Best present l've ever had" @NaturalBeeTrust

@Mullymore @ulsterbees that winter debris is a work of art.

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

Proposed new law: All beekeepers must have welcome (bait) hives and they must be beautiful! @NaturalBeeTrust @OxNatBees

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

@OxNatBees how old was the colony?

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

Another season for these tree bees in central Bath. There are thousands more of these wild pollinators in the U.K.

[BeesWing.net @BeesWingNet]

Bees have been with us since the ice age in the UK. Let's not confuse what we have done to them, with what they really are: wild pollinators https://t.co/nRKUzS2vNd

[Mrs HH @NaturalBeeTrust]

Dear all. Honeybees are not by nature commercial and are an essential part of a healthy landscape with wild pollinators! #wildbees https://t.co/41VAwGvPBi

[Mrs HH @NaturalBeeTrust]

Look out for the honeybees in wild places :) https://t.co/2sgYNNqQfD

I love this day of the year. It’s the day the bees say hello and the new season starts.

.@NaturalBeeTrust That entrance picture is from 2017. Their first winter. So far so good, but still some more winter to go.
