There’s nothing quite like a field trip! Spent the day on a bus tour organized by Norfolk Soil and Crop Improvement Association.

Great to visit three impressive farm operations in Norfolk County. Thanks Apple Hill Lavender, Emre Farms, and Strawberry Tyme Farms for opening up your spaces and educating us about how things run on your farms and the challenges you face.

Later, at Ramblin' Road Brewery Farm, Irene made friends with a rooster (no surprise there!).

This season’s honey harvest is underway…and removing bees from frames is an important step in the process.

Ask a handful of beekeepers how they get bees off frames, and you’ll hear about series of methods, from tapping and brushing, to using Quebec escape boards, to even using a leaf blower! Every beekeeper is convinced that their way is the best way.

Last year, Irene stumbled across this neat invention, the Happy Bee Electric Bee Removal Machine. Always interested in new and handy gadgets, she bought one for us to use. We used it all of last season and again this season, and we have to say that it’s pretty effective!

If you’re a beekeeper, we’ love to hear how you take bees off your honey frames. What’s your favourite method?
