We have just bottled some or our mid/late winter honey. Likely to have some of the lovely Qld Blue gums honey that was flowering then. It has a lovely deep amber colour with a delicious flavour. Pick up some for your favourite Father’s Day present.

The dreaded varroa mite has made its way in to all our hives at both of our apiary sites. Thankfully by keeping a close eye on our hives and using various integrated pest management solutions we have been able to keep them at bay for the last couple of months with simple organic controls. We have not lost any hives currently but many beekeepers have lost hives, some have lost 100% of their hives. Thanks for all those that have sent us messages of concerns- we are doing well at the moment and hopeful for the future. I am sure we are not past the worst of it at the moment but remain positive. The picture is of a mite on a drone (male) brood that was accidentally removed during inspection

We have been able to harvest a small batch of honey from the rescue hive. This beautiful dark honey has a complex caramel taste. We have left most of the honey for the bees 🐝. Once it is gone it is gone. $15 for 500g and $25 for a 1kg jar.

Another hive rescue completed. The owners had this hive for over 10 years. Originally an outside colony that fell to the ground and then they placed a milk crate over the top. Difficult to get to. Will collect the new box after dark. Queen not spotted. Very calm colony of bees.
