A few impressions from Apimondia 2025. Great talks and knowledge sharing. Thanks to the beekeepers from around the world – not to mention the amazing variety of honey they brought.

Nearly the end of the season - last honey has been harvested, bees fed and treated for Varroa. Now looking forward to attending Apimondia in Copenhagen next week.
First honey harvest this year – the two supers from green and blue hives yielded 36 kg in total. We usually run small batches so we extract the honey using a press.

Har fyret op under min 25 år gamle iMac G3 for at spille en af mine favoritter fra Lucas Arts, Full Throttle. Spillet, der er fra 95, kan ikke køre native på maskinen så jeg er nød til at bruge en emulator. Go spas!
Now the questions remain; where have they been since Saturday and why did they return (If it actually is our bees)?
Returning home from work this afternoon I was greeted by a cluster of bees sitting in a small tree right next to our hives. We had one of our hives - probably the oldest of them - swarm last Saturday and I assume that it is the same bees that have returned.
I had an extra hive ready, and without much hassle I managed to get them off the branch. If I didn’t know better they actually seemed happy to move in.

Saturday excitement! Around noon I hear buzzing getting louder and louder - I go out to have a look and see one of our colonies swarming! Amazing sight and sound - they hung around for a minute or two and then decided to take off to the west - cartoon style.
A subsequent inspection of both hives revealed nothing out of the ordinary - normal amount of bees and no queen cells to be found …
