Wasps are pain at this time of year. If the colony is strong they are capable of tackling intruders. A shortly to be ex-wasp in the middle of this ball. #midlandshour

Had a wonderful time this weekend meeting the bees in our sponsored beehive! @TheBeeFarmer was an amazing teacher and we had a really fun afternoon.

The man the legend that is Dave @TheBeeFarmer what this man is doing for the bees and the planet in general is amazing! Please people, check him out and help in anyway you can, buy honey, sponsor a hive, do a course, make a donation. We have no Planet B!!

A few weeks ago, pre lockdown, this was a neglected part of the garden. Today we had our 1st harvest of French beans, peas & carrots! And the fennel won’t be to far away from being picked! #thegoodlifeish #thegoodlife #growyourown #growyourownveg

A few weeks ago we got to spend a wonderful morning with @TheBeeFarmer building our adopted hive. A fantastic morning and a great way to help the bees! We’d definitely recommend it to anyone, and a great way to help Mother Nature and the bees into the bargain!

I am very deep in the poop..... I was sent to a doggie parlour to get Petale a shampoo and set and trimmed. I did ask how short. The answer was nice for the summer..... I have been accused of ‘pollarding’ the puppy..... if you saw the early days at the chateau you’ll understand!!

It's the start of #FestivalofArchaeology week today!
We would have had a gallery trail starting today but since we're still closed we've adapted it into a quiz sheet and info sheet, you can find it on our activities page here:

See what Cassie & Luke said about their recent visit to The Bee Farmer at https://t.co/xqqmG4y4BE We had a smashing time putting their adopted hive together. A bit of nice weather and the bees will be introduced to the hive. #midlandshour

[The goodlife(ish) @Goodlifeish]

@TheBeeFarmer Fantastic! Can’t wait for all this to blow over so I/we can come meet the bees!!

[The goodlife(ish) @Goodlifeish]

In other news though, as a gift for my 40th my partners family all chipped in to adopt a bee hive for me from the fine fellow that is @TheBeeFarmer #bees #beehive #honey #savethebees #thegoodlife #thegoodlfeish

[The goodlife(ish) @Goodlifeish]

Well it wasn’t what we had planned for the week, was supposed to be in Bruges for my 40th. Instead we’ve managed to turn the neglected middle bit of #garden into a wonderful #kitchengarden
