@Ciarastweets A weed is a fantastic plant just growing in the wrong place. To be honest the insects love weeds it's just humans that think manacur garden are great

Who needs fancy holidays when you can frozen pizza in a garden full of weeds or wildflowers as we like to call them 😆

Good morning beekeepers! This morning we share our new cover photo. For this year's World Bee Day we held a photo competition for children. This collage shows all the highly commended entries including the winners of the competition. The result of this was very impressive.

Forage of the day: Charlock

Fact of the day! With the blackberry making its way out early this year, we're nearly on the otherside of this years June gap.

Good morning beekeepers 🐝 Enjoy this fact of the day about Bee Venom!

What's the buzz? "Metarhizium is like a mold, not a mushroom. When spores land on a varroa mite, they germinate, drill into the mite, and proliferate, killing it from the inside out." sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/…

Forage of the day... Phacelia! Shout out to our on-call botanist, Emma Reeves, for always providing us with wonderful information for our forage of the day each week.

Learn something new about bees!

Good afternoon beekeepers 🌻, It's not the best weather today for beekeeping but it is a good day to learn something about bees.

Forage of the day! Honeybees love the horse chestnut. When you see your bees bringing in a "brick red" pollen you know they're on the horse chestnut. The flowers are just about finished now but it's a good tree to know about for your bees, if there are any in the area.

Good afternoon beekeepers ☺ Did you know this fact about bees? . . Topic = The Mandibular Gland
