Irish Bee Keeper

Race towards the sweetest of treats at Florence Court this #BankHolidayMonday. There's a 'buzz' in the air as the Fermanagh Beekeepers host their Honey Show. See bees in a observation hive 🐝 taste local honey 🍯 and buy a jar - the perfect purchase as we head #BacktoPorridge 🥣

Lovely colour pollen is coming in, (laid right next to freshly laid eggs) and a nice new queen is working well 👏

Why do we have an open hunting season for some of our most endangered birds @noonan_malcolm ?

Hopefully the polluters will be caught & appropriately fined.

We need a swarm of support 🐝 🐝 Join us Thursday, June 2nd at 12pm in support of the Protection of the Native Irish Honey Bee Bill. This bill aims to protect the native Irish honey bee by banning imports of non-native bees.

As we lose biodiversity we lose much of the life and sounds of the countryside that would once have been familiar to everyone. Think about it - when was the last time you heard a grasshopper in your fields? #FarmlandBiodiversity

Not seen one before, a white eyed Drone in one of the colonies! Visible mutations most often seen in drones as they develop from unfertilised eggs & have 1 set of chromosomes. All recessive genes are expressed in the drones, so more likely to see it #BeekeepersHour @britishbee 🥸

India is hell on earth at the moment with these insane temperatures.

@OSullivanSeanie @Caitmaxine @thesmalloak @countykerry @smc_listowel Ah Seanie, you’re on the wrong side here. No question.

@Caitmaxine @thesmalloak @countykerry @smc_listowel and ? you want to know why cyclists cycle on the road when theres a bike lane ? its often because the bike lane isnt to standard ,if you want people to use it build it to standard, anything worth doing is worth doing right

Approximately 700,000 people, 1.5% of the Ukrainian population, are engaged in the production of honey. Ukraine is ranked as the number one country in Europe and among the top five countries in the world for honey production, producing 75 thousand metric tons annually.

Make it two.

Just seen my first #bumble ☺️

What a glorious day it was! A wee blink of warm sunshine and all the girls were out for a wee jaunt today. Glad to see all hives have survived the winter @broightergold @britishbee @ulsterbees @IrishBeekeepers #bees #beekeeping #spring 🐝❤
