Summer swarm 2024
Just a short video of a small swarm I caught earlier in the summer. This swarm expanded reasonably quickly considering it was a relatively small swarm. We had some great nectar flows this year and it was my best honey production so far. So that probably accounts for why all my swarms and splits did so well.

      Chicken manure pellets and a good handful of worm castings when I first re-potted them. Then the odd top dressing with blood, fish and bone throughout the growing season and occasional sprinkle of the chicken pellets. Not together though, maybe alternate months.

      It's actually quite warm here at the moment. Night time temperature in the poly has not dropped below 7c for over a week now. For a couple of days it's been warm enough for all my bees to be up in the air. Apparently we're in for an arctic blast and possible snow within the next few days so I probably shouldn't gloat too much 😄

The way I did it was to cover the inlet and outlet vents on the inside with green washing up scourers to prevent my shrimps from entering the filter compartments.

    • @HedgewitchHoney
      @HedgewitchHoney 10 місяців тому

      It is indeed a Black Hamburg grape vine. It was three times larger than it is now but it had so many grapes last summer it snapped all the wires it was growing on and collapsed on the floor. Five full barrow loads of grapes I gave away to locals to make wine. Pointless growing that many grapes, you can only eat so much grape jelly so I cut over two thirds of it back. One of the jobs before spring is to rehang it properly with heavier duty wire.
