Some shots from our Honey Harvest, early September. We had the pleasure of showing DJ Monica Hayes from KCLR the ropes at the apiary. She recorded the lot, and made a fantastic short documentary on it for her show. Visit the link below to listen to it! https://kclr96fm.com/documentary/harvesting-honey/
What an unbelievably busy and well-run event! There was great interest in the bees and in beekeeping at the FIBKA (Federation of Irish Beekeepers Associations) tent. With 2 observation hives, it wasn’t hard to keep people interested in the bees. We also did 2 talks, one at the ICA stage and at inCarlow stage… well done all!
Another fantastic outing for the bees and beekeepers @ Rathanna’s Hill Farming Showcase. Our tent was constantly busy, and the beautiful sunny weather helped of course! 🌞
The formation of a queen cell.
A swarm of bees found not far from its parent hive.
Once the queen is in, the workers will follow.
