@GamingSetList Thank you! Fortunately it’s a bit cooler today, but I think after a few days of slow cooking myself, I’ll be longing for a cold, wet winter 🥶

Took the last lot of syrup up for the bees this evening. Always love seeing this ring of slurpy slurpy bees. They’ve had 8kg of sugar (as 2:1) per colony, but I think they still feel light. The ivy’s out so I’m hoping they stock up well for winter, but I reckon I’ll need to get some fondant on at some point 😟

Note to self: remember to actually do the beesuit up before fiddling with bees 😩

@garyhammond It really is ☺️ I had to prune some of it back earlier in the year, so I’m happy to see it still produced plenty of bird food. Wondering if the coming winter will be harsh - there seems to be a LOT of berries around…

@garyhammond The lupins in our garden were out in flower again a week or two ago. Someone once told me honeybees swarm when the lupins are out (he meant in the Spring, I think) and I can’t help but think those bees heard the same Old Wives’ Tale!
Hope you manage to get them sorted. Funny ol’ season eh! #beekeeping #BeekeepersHour

Real autumnal feel at the apiary last night when I went to feed the bees and put up some Asian hornet posters #beekeeping #BeekeepersHour

Took a nettle sting to the forehead at the apiary today. Got a right ol’ goose egg growing there! 😩 But I’m rather pleased that I get stung more by them than by my bees... #bees #beekeeping #beekeepershour

@Porcia the weather’s definitely not conducive for beekeeping interventions today 😕 Congrats on the swarm moving in, it’s always a great feeling when that happens. Here’s one that did the same for me a few years ago 😊

So much for getting to my apiary again today. I need to check on the colonies I’ve merged, and check on what was a massive, defensive, and queen cell-y colony last weekend 😟 #weather #beekeeping #beekeepershour

Somebody is tuckered out after an hour in the garden (supervised, with harness). I don’t have the heart to wake her, she looks so sweet, but she’s on my beesuit which really needs washing (and I don’t want her claws in the veil!) #beekeepershour #Cats #catstodon
