Two years ago our wellie wearing family moved to the rolling wet hills of Mid Wales. We decided to grow our own fruit and veg, keep bees, poultry and build our own furniture with little or no experience.



This is our journey to the good life.

Busy little bees

Our newest bee nuc are doing well. They were a massive nuc in fairness and the weather has been great but check this out.

In the week after they had been added to an empty hive (we'd decided to give them a short feed to help their stores) and they'd made all this around their feeder in the empty super that we were using as an eek.

 
Of course the little buggers should have been focusing on drawing out our foundation but at least they are keen. We removed this, stuck on a super and in a further week they'd drawn eight of the super frames AND filled it with nectar. Looking good for honey then!
