Not sure where these came from but they were keen to find an empty hive, I might have helped them a bit.

Soft set honey drizzle anyone?

36 overwintered nucs have gone to their new homes, and only 4 to go! 🐝

I want to say a huge thank you to all our customers for braving this cold and windy weather. It’s been a real challenge inspecting and getting them ready, and we truly appreciate your patience.

A special thanks to those who have messaged or emailed to say how pleased you are with them and how quiet and calm "the girls" have been—it’s so rewarding to hear! 💛

Now, we move on to spring nucs! We’re hoping to have these ready around mid-May. Watch this space! ✨
