@MrMBrown Never knew Carlin 4737 went into day trading, where's the tool bag?

You call that a bee mate? That's a HORSE fly and they BITE

Photo taken by the incredibly talented Mr Stewart Wood whilst being bitten by the horsefly! There was NO stopping him getting this picture!

@BlackMountHoney Should be back from my wife's Birthday dinner in time to catch this

@BlackMountHoney Have only ever sent 1 nuc in the post when returning bees to Kent from Aberdeen after a contract to care for them ended. February 2024 with a solid roof and not the ventilated normally used due to the colder temperatures and arrived in great condition.

Tonight at 8pm BST we’re premiering something a bit different…

Sending ONE MILLION bees through the post… what could possibly go wrong? 😂🐝

This hive is thriving even with the double bee space!

@Longsidehoney @BlackMountHoney It is certainly is 4 season in one day today in Aberdeen and seen this from another local beekeeper

[Black Mountain Honey @BlackMountHoney]

The weather this week looks VERY different to last week. Much colder - hail, wind and rain on the way. The march madness continues - like it does every year (for us anyway!)

What's it like where you are?

[Black Mountain Honey @BlackMountHoney]

Frames come out of the washing soda bath SUPER clean and free of any gunk, wax or propolis. Quick dip in boiler water and then hung out to dry!
