Its not all bad news

[Dalek]

At least my bees are still going to work every day.
But then they are key workers!
First honey of the season.

That is good news, hope they keep you sweet.
Been using honey instead of sugar where possible since I retired.

RHA, Roy.

@Dalek That’s great to read. I’ve been thinking about having a hive in my garden. How easy is it to set up and maintain? Should there be more than one?

Last year, when I was checking the hives, I accidentally dropped the hive roof. Angry bees or what!! 8 stings in about 5 seconds.

When I got stung by the bee, I was on holiday in Greece, and it stung me under the armpit, Alan had to flick the bee off and then pull the sting out , it was like a electric shock, the pain lasted for hours .

Last time I got stung as I remember was when I was 17 riding my father's motorcycle (BSA golden flash 650)with only jeans and a t shirt on, one poxy little wasp went down my t shirt and didn't stop stinging me till I got my t shirt off. Didn't count stings over my abdomen and chest and didn't have anything to help the pain in the house except Asprin and I wouldn't take it. My sisters ran out getting a couple of doc leaves and making a paste to rub on, did it work I hear you say, well maybe it did but I really can't remember I was in such agony. Ended up in bath with added baking soda as she couldn't think of anything else, did that work I hear you say, probably not but I was willing to try anything even a length of rope happen there was one handy. Thank goodness it didn't get down my jeans.

I tried to buy a bee from a pet shop, but the bloke in there said they didn’t sell them.

I was really annoyed as he had one in the window






Sorry ... must be the isolation

Seen a few drowsy huge bees out over recent days but it's quite a surprise to see you can get honey so early in the year.
Hope you get much more honey from your charges.
