After blocking the bees in at 10:30pm last night, we are eager to release them...

It's swarm time again! At this time of year the bees just can't wait to get going as soon as the sun peeks out after a gloomy spell. We collected a lovely swarm from a cherry tree earlier today and they are now safely in our last empty hive. Five hives, five colonies! Now we can look forward to the first harvest of this year's delicious honey which should be within the next few weeks! 🐝🐝🍯

Tomorrow, the 20th of May, is World Bee Day and we have a busy day planned.
Early in the morning we will be speaking to a reporter from BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, so you might hear us during the breakfast show.
We will be giving talks about beekeeping later in the morning, to the residents of a local care home, and in the afternoon, to a local primary school.
If you want to do something to help bees, consider growing 'bee friendly' plants such as lavender, foxgloves and borage. Bees like blue, purple and violet coloured flowers.
Take part in 'No Mow May' so that wildflowers are allowed to grow and provide pollen and nectar for bees.

Thousands of honey bees caused a buzz in a Peterborough family’s garden when they chose a children’s trampoline to swarm under.

A further visit to check the ‘trampoline bees’ and an unexpected surprise when we get to our apiary…

Went to check on the 'trampoline swarm' today and release them from their short confinment...

Posted yesterday about early swarms, and in the evening we had a message to collect one! It was a big one that had settled under a trampoline and was really easy to collect.
It was a bit more tricky getting them into a hive at our apiary as by then it was dark and we had to use the car headlights to see!
