The self-serve beehives will bee 🐝🐝closed for the next week ~ We are taking a short break to head to Victoria to see our son Hamish ♥️♥️ He is doing a Navy gap year after leaving school last year ⚓️🎖⚓️

When home Hami has a few crucial roles in my business because as in life and business you have to have a brilliant and kick arse team behind you and support and believe in you and your dreams ♥️♥️

So, Hami is my bee swarm removal helper as he towers above us all at six foot and six inches but is also a gentle giant ~ which certainly comes in mighty handy with swarms 💛💛 !!!!!

He also helps with moving hives to different locations ~ a fair few night hours were clocked up on his Learners plates, driving bee hives around the country side 🐝🐝

He is also my chief engineer and welder as he constructs all my hive stands for my girls 💛💛

Yes, he has left a very big big hole and very big big shoes to fill in the business for now until he returns ♥️♥️

But everyone needs to chase their own dreams in life and make themselves proud and he is certainly making us so so so proud of him as well ♥️♥️
