November 9th.
I said hello inside my hives today and even saw the Queen that swarmed with her gal pals the other week. She is in the second photo to the right.

Last week I had to melt down a heap of bees wax, burr comb, and foundation that had previously had wax moth in it that I hadn't gotten around to processing.
Watching it harden was mesmerising.

October 5th.
Lots has been happening here at the Trow house- including in the hives. The bees have been busy building their numbers, collecting pollen, making honey and nectar and making cheeky burr comb.

A couple of weeks ago I entered a couple of jars of my bee's honey in the Red hill agricultural show and my gals were awarded a Highly commended certificate and ribbon for their naturally granulated honey. How special is that!!
We haven't had the best run this year with an infestation of wax moths (not in this hive thankfully), one of the queens I gifted them was murdered. Thankfully numbers slowly growing... but hopefully we are onward and upward from here on. =D

My chunky beefy right claw 😂
During wednesdays hive inspection I received another bee sting through my glove from an angry little girl.
Its my own fault really. I wear gardening gloves as I found the original ones I bought were too thick and difficult to work with. Perhaps I need to try some fancy leather driving gloves.
Happy Friday friends!
Hive discoveries will be shared in a next couple of days.

Two new Italian queen bees for two of my hives that have been struggling since they swarmed a few months ago.
I introduced these two last week into their new hive and plan to inspect them tomorrow. Fingers crossed they have been accepted and are laying eggs to help the hives thrive once again.
Once accepted the external bees will eat the fondant (the white stuff at the top of the cage) and release her into the hive to begin her new life.

Two little cutie bees resting on my ankle whilst I enjoy my vegan banh mi in our yard.

- Because I've copped comments before...yes, I'm aware that I have hairy legs atm. They grow extremely fast and I wasn't in the mood for shaving them this week.
Enjoy the bees if not my leg stubble ;)

This batch of honey was so thick and slow to drain from the extractor. Hense this new inivative way of draining the last of the honey from the extractor. We believe it was high in melaluca and leptospermum.
I only got about 7 or so kilos this time and it has already sold out.
So hopefully the next batch will yield more.
