Thought I’d share this warning from FERA with everyone as I guess it isn’t just beekeepers who could keep an eye out for them and report any sightings. As many of you know, the Asian hornet, Vespa velutina, is a predator of honey bees and other beneficial insects. It has recently extended its geographical range from...
My first race of the season, and I’d picked a fairly local, fairly low key event in the form of the Newtown Triathlon to get things started. With only about 60 places available in the race it was never going to be hugely competitive and would therefore hopefully allow me to get a bit of...
With my first race of the year tomorrow, now probably isn’t the most sensible time to perform open-freehub surgery on my bike. It’s too late though, pre-race tinkering is what I’ve been doing! The rear wheel and more specifically the amount of drag in the rear wheel has been annoying me for ages. I’ve tried,...
We all went to the National Library last night to watch a private showing of the film ‘More Than Honey’ with the Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association. Not only was it a pleasant evening with our fellow beekeepers, but the film itself was amazing. It’s a documentary providing an in-depth look at honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland,...
Just some photos of some of the flowers that are currently out in the garden. And one of the Alium border which is looking as though it could put on a good show this year.

Morgan’s cornet playing is coming along nicely so he was interested to go to the concert which included sessions from the Ceredigion Youth Band, the Aberystwyth Silver Band and the Aberystwyth Wind Band. It started quite late though...
It was far too wet and miserable last weekend for any proper beekeeping, but we did manage some – or rather, Anna did. We hired the steam wax extractor from ABKA and extracted all of the old, dark brown wax from old frames that we had lying around. It’s a fairly mucky job but the...
After a fairly wet and miserable weekend, the clouds cleared last night and we were finally treated to the sort of sunset that Ynyslas does best.
