Natural Instincts Beekeeping

So exciting! Another beekeeping class. Get ready for this new, amazing adventure.

We have a new Natural Beekeeping for Beginners 2-part class on Zoom starting on Apr 28th at 7:00pm.

Surprisingly, bees are still bringing some pollen. Where are they finding it? At the first glance, nothing is blooming at this time of the year. Also, girls didn't kicked out all drones yet. In few days there is supposed to be -5C at night. Probably it will be a different story after that.

These honey bees do not like their new inner cover much. They decided that there is too much open space above the frames. When I was buying it, I was told that it is an improved inner cover. It is funny how we humans think that we know better than bees what they need.

With a heavy heart honey bee colony extraction from the wall at this time of the year. The colony removed from the wall in September has chance of surviving winter close to null. On Monday the building owner starts renovation. No other option to remove bees in a humane way. What a pity that we were not contacted month earlier.

Lovely view. Our bees are busy in the garden.
