Looking for something to do this weekend? Come to the beautiful Valentine's Mansion at Ilford. Super stalks and Xmas music.
I will have all of our local honey plus our latest edition; super smooth soft set honey

Apparently the answer is 'No, we will not be visiting'.

So 'Happy' that the last of the summer honey has been taken off at most of my apiaries. Now preparing the bees for winter.

Spring honey this year from most of my apiaries. Firstly is the honey comb, then being filtered off and finally jarred. A beautiful dark honey with complex flavours from the Redbridge apiary.

A very busy weekend - Saturday running our beekeeping experiences where the feedback has been amazing, with several guests wishing to do a full course.
Sunday was spent with my friends at iCARP for the second day training veterans and supporters how to care for their thirteen hives.
Always a pleasure and special thanks to A+M for their time and iCARP for the bbq lunch.
iCARP is a specialist centre for the care of veterans and Blue Light workers with PTSD.
BJ Sherriff again deserves recognition for their support with suits.

Probably my favorite apiary in the middle of Epping Forest. Produces lovely honey available from The View and High Beech visitor's centres.

The team of East Village Beekeepers opened up the Victory Park hives properly for the first time yesterday. Four very strong colonies looking very good along with 'Dave's Nuc' which made it through the winter and is now in a hive. Should be a good year.
If you live in East Village, Stratford, E20 and fancy a beekeeping experience or course with the team contact me.

I love seeing these queen bumblebees on sunny spring days. They have got through the winter and are now looking for a suitable place to build a nest. Was this in the balmy south? No, at Sandsend just north of Whitby at the wonderful Fish Cottage Restaurant.
