@GazDean1 @ChadWeather Being in the Hyundai in front of you we can vouch for that. 😖

A cluster of ladybirds is known as a Loveliness apparently.
Found this lot under a hive roof today!
How many different variations can you see? 😁

Inspired by the #overwintering article by William Hesbach in the December issue, deputy editor Richard acquired a Flir infrared attachment for his iPad.
He went out to inspect his colonies yesterday. Of the 20, only one wasn't toasty looking (yellow shows heat). #beekeeping

@SuzannaBunting @Scotbeekeepers @thegardenbees Fantastic stuff! I look forward to seeing lots of bee tweets soon. 😀

So-called ‘Killer Bees’ are helping boost the income of poor subsistence farmers in Liberia, one of the poorest countries in the world. It’s great to see a positive story about these fantastically industrious creatures, without the sensational headlines. https://t.co/vlqGpHeZYV

I'm already missing my bees. As soon as the first snow falls across the hills I know I'm going to be seeing a lot less of them. Still, there is plenty of work to do: hives to paint, frames to assemble and jars to label. The life of a #beefarmer is never boring!

Beekeepers these days are obsessed about hive insulation, if only they put a fraction of that time into disease management and treating for varroa mites #badbeekeepers

[The Urban Beehive @UrbanBeehives]

@B_Strawbridge @BeeKindHives A more bee-centric approach to beekeeping starts with the beekeeper, not the hive. #bees #sustainablebeekeeping

I don't like thinking about Christmas in November, but without bees we would need to start planning Christmas dinner months in advance. I would have to hand pollinate the Brussels sprouts! https://t.co/22BZad68Hx

@anti_plasticbag Hi Tracey, I never take all the honey from the hive, always leaving them sufficient stores for winter. However, if the hives don't have sufficient food I feed them with a substitute sugar syrup. Leaving honey is always best though!

@breiddalurblom @JiveManchester @sw_bee1 I wish it was that simple. 🙂
