@LynneIngram6 We normally have it as we have 30+ acres of sainfoin but this year yields were really low and it’s all sold. If you want to keep in touch we might have some next year.

I’m out and about today checking food stocks on hives as this is a dangerous time of year for bees. They are building up fast but there’s not a lot out there for them yet.

We spent all day yesterday at the fabulous @BroadwayDeliUk with lots of honey goodies. Met some great people behind the masks.

We are on the telly again this weekend introducing @PrueLeith and her husband John to the wonderful world of beekeeping.

Bees all over the ivy today. Ivy is vitally important to bees as there is very little else that produces nectar at this time of year and the mild weather means they are still flying well.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

@PamAyres It was such a pleasure to be able to make a contribution to such a lovely programme.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

@PamAyres Too kind. It was such a fun day. Anytime you want to pass some bee time you are very welcome here.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

Tomorrow night (Friday) we are on the telly Channel 5 at 8 pm with the wonderful @PamAyres We had a fantastic day filming with this lovely lady and she even left us with a poem.

So true. It’s about time people started treating bees as sentient animals and stopped all this “survival of the fittest” cruelty. It would not be acceptable with any other animal but bees don’t seem to count.

Well put 👍

Bees still really busy on one of our borage fields today. This makes the most wonderful comb honey.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

We call this section of borage the snack bar. It’s close to the hives but away from the main borage crop. The bees were working it like crazy today.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

It’s wedding time. A bride collected 150 of our Meant To Be honey #wedding favours today. Happy honey moon.

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

Part of the Spring harvest from @conygreefarm Nearly all the frames are as good as this with no sign of rape honey. Far too good to spin most of these will be cut comb. Delicious #honey

[Becca Stevenson @beccaonlinenow]

@cotswoldbees delicious, thank you! and the bees and course were brilliant too! a wonderful day 🐝🐝🐝

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

Carol has got them ready but you will have to wait until coffee break. See you in the morning. Fingers crossed the weather will improve. It won’t affect the cakes though so don’t worry.

[Becca Stevenson @beccaonlinenow]

@cotswoldbees Coming tomorrow, can't wait for the cakes!

[Cotswold Bees Ltd @cotswoldbees]

The first of our borage fields about to come into flower. Fingers crossed for a good year & lots of lovely borage honey.
