Lovely dress and jacket. Sorry about the rain but I know you and Karen had a great time.
You are so brave with the bees now. Already capturing a swarm!!! Yippee.
Good luck on your new Queen and hive. See you next week.
Thanks Donna 🥰🥰
Ah Catherine - you've made me feel so bad! I have the piles of clothes on chairs simply because I have no room in my wardrobes which are full of clothes i haven't worn for years - and I mean years. However I've now - having watched your video - ordered some new wallpaper for my bedroom and new bed linen, so you've inspired me to get going. Maybe when I finish the bedroom I can start on the bathroom and get to use the new wallpaper, paint and all the decorative finishes which are sitting gathering dust in my bath for the last year!!! Loved this video! Hope your Mam is doing ok!
🙋♀️❤️I love your traveling outfit! 🙏 for your mom.
Thank you! 🤗
Your outfit was lovely, I'm a 14 petite you can get a lot more petite clothes now, when i was young it was unheard of ,i had to alter all my clothes, i find the bee keeping fascinating, i hope all will be well with them. Best wishes for your mam🙏🏴
Really enjoyed this assorted video Catherine 😊 Both of your jackets are lovely, reversible one and raincoat, also your dress👍 Hope you have success with your bees 🐝 Best regards to your mum 🙏

Thank you for the lovely video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Catherine, you look absolutely lovely in that new jacket! I hope both lots of bees continue to thrive for you....
Thanks so much June 🥰
♥ Always enjoy your videos Aleah.
From one beekeeper to another, . . . It is labour intensive, isn't it?! And trust me, each year will present a new challenge never before encountered, no matter the years you have under your belt. But it sounds like you're in good hands! As for us here in northern Sicily, we've just harvested the first honey of this year; and it is spectacular! I do hope you have the same results.
The jacket! . . . it's lovely!!!
I do hope your mom is faring better. Blessings.
It’s hard work for sure but very much worth it as I’m sure you know 🥰 congrats on your first honey!! 🍯 thanks for stopping by Maureen xx
@@DaintyDiaries So glad to be part of your community. And kudos for involving the young'uns.
Catherine, you look so lovely in your jacket and dress, so pretty. I have enjoyed your 'random' video today, it's been fun to see what you are up to and where you are going. The bees are so very interesting. Thanks again, Laurie
Aww thanks So much 🥰
Love your outfit ❤❤❤
Hi Catherine,hope you’re mom is doing well and love your outfit,enjoy your trip with Karen😊
So I like your random video and the fact that when you travel you take us with you because for those of us that I’ve never been over to your country it’s beautiful. It reminds me of when I was in Germany because even though you have the city you still have the country life and it’s not necessarily I guess yet Come to country you still have the separation and you have some beautiful countryside so I’m Ok with you waffling as you say!! I think your countryside is beautiful. It’s interesting to hear about the bees had them when I was growing up. We had four hives. My dad owned a candy factory so all the slivers from the candy as it came down to be packaged we used to take those big 5 pound sacks and take them out and put them near the hives so that they could have them versus the liquid syrup that you’re feeding them, so interesting to see how they work was not interested when I was a young adolescent/teenager as to how hives worked. I was just interested in getting the fresh honey out of it. fresh homegrown honey has more good qualities for our immune systems then people realize so I’m anxious to see and hope that your bees do very very well❤
I’m glad to hear you enjoy the travel vlogs 🥰❤️ wow it sounds like your fresh honey was delicious!!
Enjoying your bee videos. 💕
Glad you like them! x
@@DaintyDiaries do you watch Gardenninja ? (Lee Burkhill) he has just put up a short on the Queen Bee “piping”. So interesting !
All the best to you regarding the hives and your reversible jacket was so nice!
It seems so wrong to cut off the extra comb. The girls spend so much time creating it and we as beekeepers have to take it off. Congrats on getting your first swarm!! Well done !!
Seems like a good day to just go home and have a cup of tea! 😂
Tea is always a good idea 😂❤️
How do you over winter them I'm finding the bees fascinating, what are you doing to us Catherine we going all want a hive nxt 😂❤xxx
Overwintering bees is fascinating, To prepare them for winter, we make sure they have enough food stored (like honey) or a supplement fondant feed, reduce the hive entrance to keep out cold drafts, and sometimes insulate the hive. We don't check them weekly wither, and only open them up in Spring to see if the queen is laying 😊🐝 Beekeeping is contagious-once you start learning about them, it's hard not to want a hive of your own! 🍯❤️
Ermagerd! Bees, cute dress, even lovelier jacket, and Monty Don? I'm swooning! You rock Catherine! Sending love and hugs to you and your mum, from Pamela on Vancouver Island. ❤
Thanks so much Pamela ❤️❤️
Love the jacket I want one😁💐
Monty is simply the Gardening God! Quite simply. Loving the bee coverage xxx
He is 👑 thanks for stopping by xx
Nice to see you. Love the dress and jacket. Hope your bees are OK. Catch you next time 😊😊
Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you like the dress and jacket. The bees are doing great, I added a test frame of eggs on Sunday, so will keep you posted. Catch you next time! 🐝😊
Catherine. Xx 💐🌻🌷🌹🏵️🌺🌹
Hi Catherine your outfit is so lovely you always put things together so nicely,love the bee updates.😊
Happy Sunday Catherine! I hope you get to meet Monty Don someday😊love the random vlogs and all the bees talk. Wow!! So much info I never knew. You're as good a 🐝mum as you are a 🐈⬛ mum. They are lucky to have you! Healing thoughts sent out to your mum as always
Thanks so much Cheryl ❤️ that means a lot to me xx
Happy Sunday, love the jacket
Thank you xxx
the weather this summer has been awful, we've had like two sunny days where I live! it's a shame it wasn't nice in london though, that's supposed to be the warmest part, what's going on...
We’re all in the same boat it seems! Hopefully we get a warmer August and September 😍☀️thanks for stopping by Chantelle xx
If I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.
Catherine, I’m learning so much about bees and I’m loving it🌻🌸🌿
Aww yayy I love sharing 😍 we are learning together! Thanks for stopping by xx
Glad you got to see Monty. Yesterday, I had a run in with some very aggressive bees and got stung on my head. Yup, my head and almost my face. I think I want a bee suit. You are so brave!
Oh nooo!! You poor thing! Hope it wasn’t too sore ❤️
Pretty dress and love the jacket x
Good video
Love Monty Don 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love, love, love your outfit!❤ Beautiful! You are doing so well with those bees!
Thank you so much for the love and the compliment on my outfit! ❤️ I'm thrilled to hear you think I'm doing well with the bees. They're such fascinating creatures to work with!
Good luck with the bees. It's exciting, but worrying about the current situation, I am looking forward to seeing what you do with them. 😊
Thank you! So, they got a test frame of eggs on Sunday, if they draw queen cells then they will have a new queen, or I can ask my mentor about introducing a new queen, the goal is to have a strong queen and stock of bees to get them through Winter
Hi Catherine! So fascinating hearing you explain about your Bees, I don’t blame the Bees, I don’t want to go out when it’s 13 degrees and pouring with rain 😅 amazing you catching your 1st swarm, oh I do hope they all thrive. I was chuckling at your Monty Don crush 🥰 I must admit he has a cute smile and a while back I think I might of also had a wee crush on him myself😅. Well wishes to you Mum, Suze. 🤗 x
Very true about the rain 😂 thanks so much, I hope so too!!❤️🐝 I’m glad I’m not alone on the Monty crush 🥹
This is the first time I've heard of Queue gardens; outside a long ago movie reference. I might not have spelled that right, sorry ! That movie was 30 years ago. I never knew that was a real place until now❤
Oh that jacket ❤, despite the rain I hope you and Karen had a fab time. Wow those bees are fascinating creatures 🙂
Thank you! ❤️ I’m glad you like the jacket. Despite the rain, we did have a great time. And yes, the bees are truly fascinating-always something new to learn about them! 😊🐝
Wow that dress and jacket are beautiful 😊thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for stopping by 🩷
Beautiful dress and jacket, such a shame it rained and you had to cover them up in a plastic Mac. Wow you’re very brave going into that hedge and grabbing handfuls of bees I hope all is well now in the hives 🐝🐝 x
Your jacket reminds me of the outfits Carol Klein wears for the garden shows. I love her vibrant style.
I LOVE Carol!
Great video as always Catherine. Your outfit was stunning and really suited you. I heard you say your dress was from Next, did you say where your reversible jacket was from? Thank you.
Oh thank you, that jacket is also next x
Lovely dress and very cool jacket!!
Pretty look and flattering. Love your raincoat.
Thanks so much!
💚
How will you keep them during the winter? Do they stay in the box? 😊
To prepare them for winter, we make sure they have enough food stored (like honey or fondant supplement), reduce the hive entrance to keep out cold drafts, and sometimes insulate the hive. The swarm of bees will go into a larger hive once they start to fill the frames in that smaller box. x
Love your outfit, you look very cute. I must have missed it, where is your reversible jacket from?
I got that from Next.co.uk x
Hi Ms. Catherine... Lovely dress love it 😍
Thanks Maria ❤️
I love your jacket. You look very pretty
👍👍❤❤
Beautiful dress on you!
Since you described your vlog as "random", I'd like to continue the theme and ask you a random question. I have just booked a week in Dublin over Halloween (Oct 27- Nov 2). I LOVE Halloween! Have you got any tips for things to see and do, Halloween related while we are there? Will folks in the pubs be wearing costumes? Thanks! ♥
Some pubs do organise theme nights so keep an eye out online! They usually announce those closer to the time! Some events pop up in and around Dublin throughout October too so online is your best bet closer to October 🥰 have a great time!!
@@DaintyDiaries You're awesome, thank you so much. If I get lucky enough to run into you in Dublin I'll buy ya a cheeky pint!! ;-)
Im curious, do any of the swarm box bees try to sneak into the other box? Or do both groups stay separate?
Im really interested in the bee content.
I like all your content 😊
So both groups stay separate as they are loyal to their own queen, so their queens pheromone. Some bees do rob from other hives, robbing is common.
@@DaintyDiaries thanks for the explanation. They are fascinating creatures. This year I have planted lots of native plants to help the pollinators - I have been so surprised at the increase in all sorts of pollinators.
11:14 its regular practice to move the entrance restrictor one position anti-clockwise to keep queen in and many wasps/hornets out? Something worth exploring with your local beekeeping club?
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into that and discuss it with my local beekeeping club. Always great to learn new things, and see the different ways people do things.
Im second. 4 minutes after posted. I've never been on time before 😅
Aww guys!!❤️ thanks for stopping by xx
Ooh I'm third ...with the hairy chest lol
There's so much I didn't know about bees until following your channel! Absolutely loved your white dress....I'd have spilt something down it by boarding the plane lol! Glad you got to see Monty Don though the rain was awful for you xx
Hey I'm first !😁
Heyy!! Thanks for stopping by Cathy! ❤️ you’re quick this evening!!
@@DaintyDiaries lol Yes,Just happened to be here at the right time.😁💜
