Lockdown or no lockdown, the Churchwood bees have been busily buzzing about! Our resident beekeeper Tom Stansell brings us up to date with what’s been happening in the Churchwood bee hives…
“We have reached the end of the bee season for 2020 with the same strong happy colony we started with.
We had two small honey harvests throughout the year, which were sold almost as soon as they were extracted. We had a primary and secondary swarm as the original colony re-queened; I attempted to combine these swarms into a new colony, a tricky procedure, but unfortunately, the process was unsuccessful. We are now looking forward to a productive 2021… when hopefully, we can add a second colony to our inventory.”
