Good evening, everyone 👫
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.

@BurroughesBees @britishbee @GwenynGruffydd @beesinbrittany @BSHoneyBees Put a fan heater underneath and leave it overnight. Not the best picture, but you'll see the reflection.

That was a quick hour, but now that it's 10pm we're off up those stairs 🥱😴

-treat brood boxes with Apivar strips
- feed bees 3:1 sugar syrup
- follow up with an oxalic acid treatment

Time to start extracting the first batch of our 2024 Summer Honey 🍯

[LLBee 🐝 @ItsLLBee]

@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!

[🐝#BeekeepersHour @BeekeepersHour]

@ToonyJoy69 Fair play! Not a shabby result 🍯
#BeekeepersHour

[Tony Joyce @ToonyJoy69]

@BeekeepersHour Took 19kg last week and looks like I may get a late crop as supers on at least 3 hives close to being capped.

[🐝 Brundall Bee @brundallbee]

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 🍯 to complement the spicy jalapeño 🌶️ - thankyou @BroadsBee for the help with extraction! #BeekeepersHour

[neil seymour @ncseymour]

@BeekeepersHour Still supers on, mostly because I‘m on holiday, but brambles still going when I left albeit very slow income wise and most capped.

[Tony Joyce @ToonyJoy69]

@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

[🐝#BeekeepersHour @BeekeepersHour]

@NancyClow That's a fair amount to leave them, Nancy, but likely the same time here if Ivy is collected. Nice to see you too 😊

[🐝#BeekeepersHour @BeekeepersHour]

@ItsLLBee Ditto! Do you let the bees clean it all up, or do you wash down all the equipment?

What is your least favourite beekeeping job?
#BeekeepersHour #bees #beekeeping🌻🐝🌻🍃

[Tyla Glas Bees 🐝🐝 @TylaGlasBees]

I know we moan about extracting our honey and always say it’s 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.

[Bernoid @bernoid]

Finished :)
