My favourite spot from last week's travels. Next time I'll make sure I'm dripping in insect repellent so I can enjoy it in-person for a little longer. https://t.co/tOOHEYA41u

The plane needs to expand its shadow puppet repertoire https://t.co/Y5e5uJqnJI

Of all the critters that could inhabit a mailbox, a praying mantis would be one of the best. Sadly, this little one was only taking in the views and soaking up the sun rather than moving in. #MailboxStillAvailableForRent https://t.co/GkHEe6YPM0

I return burr comb and other incidences of comb honey back to the girls. They take back their honey and tidy up the offcuts. #marvellouslittlecritters #beecoral #beeswax #backyardbeekeeping #beekeeping #bees https://t.co/ON0t6chr34

Last season's comb + Gorgonzola = an easy contribution to morning tea. #beekeeperofficelife #combhoney #honey #backyardbeekeeping #beekeeping #bees https://t.co/y4Ff9Dk369

Pulled this beauty out today! 😍 I think I'm going to have to invest in a chest freezer that can store these as is, I'm sure it'd make a wonderful centrepiece for a dinner party!

But I'm going to have to cut this frame up for freezing and storage… https://t.co/4M3wQSkuPC

It may be gloriously sunny, but it's also pretty windy out there today! #takingabreak https://t.co/sNJaqopGAr

Had some fun playing with Avery labels and some of my uh-oh-my-honey-bucket's-too-small bottled honey. L7145 sorted, L7126 needs more work. #typesettingprobs #averylabels #rawhoney #handpressedhoney #honey #miel #backyardbeekeeping #beekeeping https://t.co/xXPYTCaF49

[Bees of Suburbia @beesofsuburbia]

Hand pressing honey means if needs to be cut into many small pieces! #honeyharvest #honey #backyardbeekeeping

P. S. I'd have kept this frame as comb honey if it wasn't for the foundation wax sheet! 😝 https://t.co/Hfp1fbBCTp
