Dr Chris Palgrave (Three Hares Honey)

@JaneMedwell @tanya_weaver @warleambees Congratulations 👏

@BizzleBugs 100% agree, looking forward to it!

@nthnbeebooks @nathoneyshow @BeekeepingP They're lucky to have an expert roving reporter on location! 🎤

NBB field report recorded for @BeekeepingP podcast from @nathoneyshow today! Keep an ear out for their next episode… 😉🎤

Thoroughly enjoyed getting to chair Matthew's talk today. Rare to meet someone who has the scientific skill, business acumen and ability to engage the public so successfully. I look forward to seeing how these many exciting projects develop!

Co-Founder Matthew Elmes is delivering a lecture at @nathoneyshow stage about using science to combat pollinator decline. Two legends in the front row! @BeeCraftMag #scillybees #nathoneyshow

One of the things I love about @nathoneyshow is the lack of hierarchy. We are just members of a family who share a common passion. Here are two hugely inspirational, modest and lovely beekeepers, they happen to be Jeff Pettis President @apimondia and @nicolabradbear @BeesForDev.

@charnley_dave Congratulations on all your awards Dave!

Day two of the National Honey Show at Sandown Park Racecourse, well worth a visit.

I have a love-hate relationship with Friday @nathoneyshow. On one hand a great programme on the main stage kicking off with veteran bee farmer Willie Robson. On the other, a day of fantastic research lectures hosted by @BeeCraftMag. I guess it's a 'good' predicament to be in?!

Always a treat to chat with the hugely knowledgeable and entertaining Jerry Burbridge of @nthnbeebooks. You just have to accept that you will be interrupted by a constant stream of the great and the good, as well as simple book-lovers like me, wanting a few minutes of his time!

Great to be back @nathoneyshow. Stellar day 1 line up, including @apimondia President Jeff Pettis, @nicolabradbear of @BeesForDev, Roger Patterson and @DaveGoulson. Extraordinary beekeeping wisdom and cutting edge science woven together by a common thread. Change. Exciting times!

@pguythompson @BeeCraftMag Thanks @pguythompson it's people like you that are so inspiring and have made it such a fascinating journey so far. I'm really excited to see where it goes! I look forward to meeting you @nathoneyshow

It's been a busy year of reading, discussing, thinking and writing about what being a more #responsible, #sustainable and #ethical #beekeeper might look like. Not much time for actual beekeeping though! I look forward to putting some of this into practice next season @BeeCraftMag

They use a 50:50 approach; harvesting 50% and leaving the rest for the wildlife. The juice was dark, concentrated and surprisingly sweet due to the long dry summer. It takes a team of rangers and volunteers to prune the trees, collect and juice the apples from all the orchards.

My #bees live in @NTKillerton #orchards. These contain dozens of traditional varieties of #Devon #cider #apple. They are managed in the traditional way and juiced using a 200 year old press. Fascinating to see an ancient #rural #craft being practiced and #skills handed down.

@nthnbeebooks @Cornwallbees Really sorry I missed it, was looking forward to it. Been to some great @NatDipB short courses on #bee #diseases and #anatomy with Dan and Ken at #BlackberryHoneyFarm.

Brilliant lecture by Dan Basterfield today at ‘A Bit of a Doo’ held by @Cornwallbees and West Cornwall Beekeepers Association at Truro College. You can buy Dan’s book here: northernbeebooks.co.uk/product-catego…

@AndieHill105 Our neighbour has a quince tree in his garden and it is laden with huge knobbly beautiful fruit. I'm so jealous. I love quince and have failed miserably trying to grow them. I think I'm going to drop a few hints in case he is wondering what to do with them all...

Photo doesn't really do it justice, but this sweet chestnut tree has the most incredible spiral trunk.

Family illness and last-minute daddy duty meant I couldn't get to @Cornwallbees #BitOfADo in #Truro. Very disappointed. Then again, not such a bad day to go #paddling, #rockpooling and #foraging for sweet #chestnuts and #windfall #apples. #Devon #autumn

The project only needs ONE bee per apiary. Contact Will Bayfield-Farrell: willbayfieldfarrell@gmail.com for more info. @britishbee @tivvybeekeepers

Just received my sampling kit from @PollenizeCIC as part of a #CitizenScience project to genetically profile #Devon's #honey #bees and establish baseline data. Great to hear @NCarreck and @BeebytesCIC give more detail last night. @project_b4 @BeeCraftMag @BayfieldFarrell @DevonCC
