Spruce's honey bees

2 years ago, sadly they've not come back, nor the small nest of big bumblebees that were under the futility room.

 

We do it all on here , do you mean flock as in sheep ??

Spruce

 

No, recon he means as in "get the flock outta here"

 

I will wait and see , must be me living in Wales

I ment a flock of birds, chickens and ducks ect and some rhia and an ostrich and me at the top of the flock!

 

They don't half peck

 

Yea they look really cute as they peck you to death though against the bees though there beeks would be useless...

 

How are your new Bees getting on Spruce.....i'm guessing this weather doesn't agree with them

yesterday, as I was weeding, I noticed a very pretty little bee on my Cranesbill Macorrhizum flowers. Soooo much shiny orange on its back. Looked it upon Google - think it might have been a COMMON CARDER BEE ,

I was watering my hanging baskets yesterday and as i gentely lifted the leaves up to water the soil i felt a bee brush past my fingers. It felt nice. Then it just buzzed off like they do!! Dont know what type it was though.

Spruce you are our bee guru now!!
I only hope your not too beezee for us hahaha

 

I shall be on BEE WATCH today. The sun has got his hat on and is coming out to play. I can just feel the excitement in the hive this morning!

 

Hi
A Guru dont know about that but I will try my best. I will pop out later to just give them a quick check over , yes Lolli the weather could be kinder but mine are on a sugar feed at the moment so they dont have to go out much for food but they will need pollen but I did get a emergency email from Bee Base to check and feed so its not looking good across the UK yet again, so many beekeepers expecting a crop of honey from oil seed rape wont be happy nor the farmers as they rely on the bees to do the polinating .

I want mine to settle in as its a new queen with adoptive daughters , so we need more of her own before I will go through each frame to check, another week plus everyone saying next week sunny and warm so I will do it then I normaly wear gloves so it will be difficult to take photos of in side but I will give it a go they should be in a good mood !!

Armandii a "sticky thread" you spoil us ......

We need more photos so get the camera out anything with a sting or not ??

You may have the 1st one of me in my beeesuit well maybe .... you will just have to wait and see .....

Thanks Guys

Spruce

 

They're back.

Was sat in the bathroom last night, when I thought I heard the solar pump come on, so I ran off a bit of hot water to stop it.

Wrong.

The bees are nesting under the floor this time How do they get the tone to match the pump so well?
