I had a lovely time meeting Luke and Suzie of Northumberland Honey Co today. This is a cool machine to help move hives

Now that’s what I call a swarm! Easy enough to collect it and now they are in a hive. #beekeeping #swarm

I have recently upgraded my van to this VW Transporter 4Motion - much more suitable than the Caddy. Awaiting decals to make it pretty! #beekeeping #van

These are the types of traps used in Spring to catch Asian hornet queens. One day they will probably be part of my life, but for now just a curiosity #beekeeping #asianhornet

A delivery of new Anel (careful) hives from Greece, via Gwenyn Gruffydd in Wales. Hopefully combines toughness with good insulation, and no need to paint them 👍. #beekeeping #langstroth @gwenyngruffydd
