Honey extraction day coming very shortly. Last year the bees did so well with a late burst of honey, this year I am not so sure. Can just keep my fingers crossed🫰😊❤️

following an international color-coding system that cycles through white, yellow, red, green, and blue for the years ending in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5/0, respectively. For example, in 2025, a queen bee would be marked with a blue dot.

One way of remembering the queen bee marking color code, use the mnemonic “Will You Rear Good Bees,” which corresponds to White (1 or 6), Yellow (2 or 7), Red (3 or 8), Green (4 or 9), and Blue (5 or 0) based on the last digit of the year the queen was born.😊🐝

So many ways that anyone can help these precious bees🐝

Bees are critically important to humans and ecosystems primarily due to their role as pollinators, ensuring the reproduction of countless plants, including many of the foods we eat, and supporting biodiversity and healthy environments. They are also a source of valuable products like honey and beeswax❤️😊

I am pleased to 🐝 one of those 47,000 beekeepers helping bees in any way we can.

Beekeepers play a direct role in mitigating the decline of bee populations, which are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, by caring for hives and promoting healthy bee populations.

It has been lovely in my pursuit of becoming a beekeeper that my family have been so interested and involved😁

I know that I have to get some kid bee suits for the younger members of the family as they are so keen to see inside a hive🐝

As for my eldest, 2 out of the 3 having been in suits is not too bad , 👍 don’t think you are getting away from it

Harvest time is always my favourite time of year. You get to see and taste what the girls have been working so hard all summer for us❤️🐝

My first ever seasons honey was clear,bright golden colour with a minty after taste. My second and third years honey was much different, the colour, texture and taste. This is what makes the honey harvest so exciting, even if it is a lot of heavy lifting and coming and going.

The honey is always going to be determined by the type of nectar there is around. The last couple of years the hives have been surrounded by wild meadow fields so that has been the dominant flavour in our honey.

Having my apiary in the woods is great, I love the fact it is set around nature🌳🍃

It being a bit wild I have had to create a little space to have the hives. There is always plenty of dead branches lying around to utilise to create a more defined space for my Little Bee Farms apiary😊

4 years and counting and now have 4 hives up there. Still room for another couple before our search for a next site.
