Hello Everyone, It’s me again (Greg), Kat was busy with being a teacher/reputable member of society so she let me write another blog post...

Today we visited the apiary as a spur-of-the-moment decision on the way back from my wedding dress fitting (I'm not excited! You're...

These past couple of weeks have been a bit full-on for both Kat and I, so today I’m taking control! *evil laugh* The power! No doubt...

So today we first went to where our newly christened Steph and the Nuc reside. We wanted to check if they'd moved up into our top brood...

Yesterday was an exciting day for us. It was bee delivery day at the new apiary! Greg had ordered a full colony and a nuc of overwintered...

Today, inspired by the glorious weather, we completed our first full inspection of 2021. The temperature of the apiary was 21°C and sunny...

Happy New Year my fellow Beeks! This weekend has been the warmest and dryest so far at 7°C so Greg, who has been pestering to go and...

Since last I wrote Greg has been very busy. Very busy weather watching ... The weather has been rubbish - rainy and cold - and the...

Hi there, from a very autumnal and rainy cosy day. I thought I'd take this opportunity to update you again on the bees and the apiary. As...

So, having worked a 60 hour week last week, I hope you can understand why we skipped a post. We did inspect the bees but I just didn't...

Yesterday we brought our inspection forward a day so that my mum, who was up visiting, could come and see the little buzzers. She was...

Today's inspection was a mixture of highs and lows as we are finding is the norm with our beekeeping journey. Earlier in the week Greg...

Our weekly inspection began as usual. We were wanting to check the nuc for queen cells in our final attempt to re-queen her. We wanted to...

Today we arrived and inspected the nuc first. This put a downer on the inspection as we knew there was nothing really to find and that we...

So I managed to keep Greg away from the apiary for a whole week! (Medal required.) Unfortunately, he found evidence to say that we should...

This weekend lockdown eased enough for my brother to visit the apiary. As I mentioned in our first blog post about how we became...

Today, as promised, Greg and I visited the apiary to check on our queenless situation. We inspected the nuc first and were essentially...

So since our first inspection, the weather has been AWFUL, really windy and rainy, so we weren't able to go in and rectify our queenless...

Since I last wrote I've rallied over the embarrassment and disappointment of my first sting and we made our way down to our apiary today...

So today we'd planned a quiet day prepping for the bees to arrive tomorrow, only to get a phone call about midday asking if we were happy...
