Whilst this years heather crop was poor we did manage to squeeze out an entire years worth of heather cut comb 👌 such a relief

Sloes are looking amazing this year 👍

Our 2025 spring/summer cut comb boxes safely stored, these are all fully capped frames of honey (unwired) - I can’t tell you how stressful it is producing this volume each year #BeeFarmer

Fecking dadant smokers 🤷‍♂️ anyone able to recommend one that last ? used 8hrs a day for 6 months 💨 maybe I expect too much

In numbers, as of today we’ve got 699 supers sat on 299 full colonies, 58 of these are sat on the heather moors, I’ve already harvested 1.22 tonnes of honey and the end forecast is approaching 7 tonnes 😀 all a bit daunting 💪 picture from today too

Buried the little rabbit earlier, we’ve had some heavy rain so figured the ground would be damp but dug down 12” and it was bone dry all the way - going to take months of rain to fix things 💧

Currently harvesting the blossom cut comb crop, this takes about a week to do, so far it’s looking promising #BeeFarmer #CutComb #blossom #honey #uk #eu #love

Nice to have great heather sites where we can drive right up to the bees 👍 #BeeFarmer
