Feral Colony
It was nice to see a feral colony of honey bees before kayaking on Sunday. The bees there seemed quite happy coming and going and they seemed to be doing well.

Kayaking with the Scouts
Just got back from a nice day out kayaking with the Scouts thanks to Aber Kayakers. As you can see, everyone had fun, including Anna so I just can’t resist posting this photo either – Captions in the comments please!
Our Honey Harvest
Against all odds we have harvested some honey again. This year our honey has come from our bees in Llandre and as in previous years supplies are very limited.
Honey Harvest
The Honey Harvest has begun. To be honest, we haven’t got much again this year, especially compared to some other local beekeepers – a friend of ours managed to extract 300lb of honey from her hives in just one valley and left every hive with 2 full supers as she got fed up of extracting...
Bryn Cader Faner Photo
I didn’t have a decent camera with me yesterday so I thought I’d enhance one of my photos of Bryn Cader Faner with the help of Photoshop. That’s better, more dramatic, atmospheric and befitting of a Bronze Age site.

We broke quite a few records last weekend and we’ve been trying to continue this streak even though Morgan is...
Stupid Bees!
No doubt I’ve called a blog post exactly that before! Why would they decide to start swarming again at this time of year? The saying goes something like this: A swarm in May is worth a load of hay; a swarm in June is worth a silver spoon; but a swarm in July is not...
Homemade Chilli Jam
Mmmm, Home made chilli jam from homegrown chillies! I think Anna wants to make some green chilli jam next. I think we should do red, orange and green and make traffic light chilli jam. That would make nice Christmas presents. So those of you who get Christmas presents from us, you have been warned! Don’t...
