Great stuff, very inspiring indeed 👍 I’ve moved away from honey production to nuc and queen sales. We don’t have the forage like you do in Ireland and it’s quite difficult to rely on honey alone.
We will always produce the honey but..... we are looking into other avenues as well. As you know inconsistency in crops and weather is too much of a risk to rely on 100% We have been increasing our nuc production this year.
Love your videos so jealous of all your different sites that you have. May I encourage you to have a big vision, if your vision doesn’t scare you it’s not big enough. We believe in you, you will make it Regards Papa T
Those pumpkin flowers need pollination very early as they start to flower .... I had planned on moving my hives to that pumpkin site but ended up taking them over to morecambe... couldn't see the benefit from it as the site wasn't big enough
You’ll be becoming one of my favourite beekeeping person on TH-cam. I’d love to know will you be paid anything for being on the pumpkins? Just curious?
Great update. Good luck with the expansion.
Well done on the new unit.
Leafblower incident ? 😅 I'm intrigued , I want here the rest of the story ha ha ...
I was led to believe that bees don't work red clover, only the white. But you saw bees working red!
Great video , you have a lot going on . Bees everywhere this year. OSR, beans , borage and then the heather . Keep up the hard work .
Can’t wait to hear about the leaf blower incident. I’m guessing all sorts not knowing 🤣🤣
If they only realised what problems its caused us... Then again that's why they got the planners involved 😩
@@SimplyBeeutifulHoney ah I see what they have done now, hmm obviously intentional, onwards and upwards thou guys, on to better things.
Go on lad, gotta have faith 👍

Good luck with the new building and expansion. I guess one of your neighbours doesn't like you working at home.
It's probably the push we needed, Just not how or when I'd planned though 😂

Thank you !
Beekeeping is a hard way to earn a living, i'm rooting for you.

Great vlog 👍, do you have to prepare the hive in anyway for the Heather honey crop as it’s so hard to extract. Thanks
Only our strongest hives go up to the heather as it's tough on the bees. We like them to bee wall to wall brood and bees.
Was the pumpkin pollination a paid job?

Please tell us about the incident...

I’ll try to explain in one of my videos 😁
