Spent yesterday being a very enthusiastic beginner beekeeper while John did the actual expert stuff 🐝 Hive checks, hive splitting, introducing queens. Plus an accidental swarm catch in our back garden needed rehoming - actually quite a gentle bunch.
I suited up properly for the first time in a while and got right in there. The lovely landowner at one of our plots came out to watch and ended up asking nearly as many questions as me! 😀
John’s been beekeeping 16+ years and his day job is teaching, so he slipped straight into teacher mode and very patiently answered our one million questions.
I’m genuinely becoming a bit obsessed with how their whole world works. So, what do you want to know? Drop your questions below and I’ll find out for you 👇
