The beekeeping season is beginning to wind down and the focus is now on making sure the colonies have enough honey stores to get through the winter.

Had our last holiday workshop today and I was given this bee-utiful card from a toddler and their adult to say thanks! They’re obsessed with bees and came to one of each of the different sessions. True dedication!
