Day 4 and the final day of our beekeeping course h

Day 4 and the final day of our beekeeping course held at the beautiful East London Mosque. Today our students were taught how to overwinter a hive, manage varroa, spring checks, siting hives and more. They all left with the knowledge and appreciation about managing a colony of bees and how important continual development is. So proud to be able to award each of them a certificate at the end alongside a few other goodies.

Third day of our beekeeping course and today we went into detail around the various diseases which can affect our honey bees and how we can manage these ailments. Our student got plenty of hands on experience and can now identify a healthy colony, know how to spot signs of disease, identify common diseases, know what to look for when performing a disease checks and how to identify and manage varroa. All left with an appreciation of what bee husbandry is about and the responsibility that comes with managing a colony of honey bees.

Day 2 of our beekeeping course, today the students managed to light a smoker, do an inspection on their own and go over swarming in detail. So proud of our students who are making great progress. I'm confident they will all go on to be good and responsible beekeepers.

Had a great day teaching beekeeping to our new beginners. They all managed to get into a hive, handle frames of bees safely and can identify all components of the hive and the Castes. Looking forward to going over swarming in depth tomorrow and more hands on training.

First of our beekeeping courses will be starting tomorrow at the beautiful East London Mosque in Whitechapel. Our students will have four sessions of mainly hands on training and will be equipped to manage their own colonies after completion.

Teaching is one of our passions and I'm sure the course will be enjoyed by all.

We have just released another Beekeeing course in July. Check our website if interested

A great way of helping our pollinator friends is by leaving a bit of our gardens to grow wild. This provides an ideal habitat for so many insects including bumble bees, honey bees, moths and beetles. It also makes maintaining the garden easier, so a win win all around.

Maybe after no mow May we should have a wild weed jungle June...

Another day another honeybee swarm rescue 🙂. When the honeybees decide to move in they release a pheromone to guide the others to their new home, love the way they walk in. The pheromone smells quite pleasant and a bit like lemongrass. Another amazing feature of the bees.

Out rescuing another swarm of bees today. This one had landed on a wall of a school near the entrance. Something for the kids to remeber before they break up for half term.

With World Bee day on the 20th May now is a great time to think of the contribution all types of bees make to our environment, whether these are managed honey bees, feral colonies, solitary or otherwise. Let's do our piece to help these most beneficial of insects. This picture shows a honey bees view of a hive inspection. What must they think 🙂

Always love seeing one of our beautiful queens going about her business, and the way the workers groom and care for her. The queen is the mother of all the worker bees and her presence keeps the hive functioning (and happy).

Always find it so relaxing checking our colonies of gentle bees raised by us. They are expanding nicely and are already bringing in excess honey.
