Cotswold Bees Ltd

I’m out and about today checking food stocks on hives as this is a dangerous time of year for bees. They are building up fast but there’s not a lot out there for them yet.

Our latest YouTube video How Bees Make Honey Is at: youtu.be/MYstgNllKiM I hope you enjoy it

We spent all day yesterday at the fabulous @BroadwayDeliUk with lots of honey goodies. Met some great people behind the masks.

We are on the telly again this weekend introducing @PrueLeith and her husband John to the wonderful world of beekeeping.

Bees all over the ivy today. Ivy is vitally important to bees as there is very little else that produces nectar at this time of year and the mild weather means they are still flying well.

Tomorrow night (Friday) we are on the telly Channel 5 at 8 pm with the wonderful @PamAyres We had a fantastic day filming with this lovely lady and she even left us with a poem.

Bees still really busy on one of our borage fields today. This makes the most wonderful comb honey.

We call this section of borage the snack bar. It’s close to the hives but away from the main borage crop. The bees were working it like crazy today.

It’s wedding time. A bride collected 150 of our Meant To Be honey #wedding favours today. Happy honey moon.
