Good evening, everyone π«
We've been struggling with a work pattern change and keeping up with our own business hours, recently.
Feel free to keep #BeekeepersHour going, but for a while, it's over to you all.
It's been good, but shouting into the darkness can be lonely.
That was a quick hour, but now that it's 10pm we're off up those stairs π₯±π΄

Good night, and thank you for checking in ππ

@BeekeepersHour I let them do some of the cleanup (and the ants!) and then finish the rest. So technically it's a bit of a shared responsibility but I feel like I do most of the heavy lifting!
Loving this week - the hard work of shifting a 1/4 ton of honey from the summer harvest rewarded with BBQ pizza with a generous drizzle of honey π― to complement the spicy jalapeΓ±o πΆοΈ - thankyou @BroadsBee for the help with extraction! #BeekeepersHour
@BeekeepersHour My first year I bought in Queens but am now on F2 generation which are indeterminate some have the good traits of their mother but one or two have produced some rather aggressive colonies which I am weeding out I guess it trial and error another lesson learned that's beekeeping
I know we moan about extracting our honey and always say itβs the worst beekeeping job - well it is. However, when we open the honey gate and see the first of the honey running out it does make things feel a lot better.
