We're sad to say farewell to Milton (on the right), who is leaving us to start a PhD. Jacob crocheted this unbelievable Cryovial (complete w/ removable lavender insert and plasma) which may be the best leaving present ever given! So long Milton, and thanks for all the PHOSP 😉

You've probably heard of the bees knees, well this is the bees neck. I wish Spring would hurry up, fed up of all this freezing cold weather, winter seems to be lasting as long as Covid #beekeeping #britishbee #Beekeepershour

I had 5 sheep on their backs yesterday 😱 so thought I would show this video again. Please if you see a sheep like this it's important to roll them or the birds will eat them alive. They may be very wobbly at first so keep an eye on them Thankyou.

It is dark & rainy today, so we thought we would share a photo taken by our 'Bee Team photographer' (age11) to remind us of sunnier days with the #bees! We will be sharing some exciting news in the next week or so... so watch this space (and the photos! 😉)#BeekeepersHour

Just discovered that sucking a Fisherman’s friend whilst wearing a mask doesn’t half make your eyes water 😷

Honey is a popular product in autumn. A taste of summer and a good remedy for coughs and colds. But take care where you buy, honey shouldn't be cheap - it's value represents the hard work of bees and beekeepers. And if you can, try to support local beekeepers and bee farmers.

This might be the sweetest thing you will see all day. Thank you @HeadysFarm for sending this in of Poppy and "Wonky" the lamb. Maybe we need to get @herdyshepherd1 back again for some junior farmer judging!

Words fail me about the devastation of our award-winning apiary at Gallions Reach by “travellers” during their fortnight of occupation. Here is what we found there this morning...

Did you know, Darwin spent years researching the comb building process? He discovered that bees r in fact building circles but it’s only evident in the first rows. Through the use of coloured wax he also learnt how wax is distributed through out the colony. @bbka @BeekeepersHour
