It was only a matter of time……
…before I found myself going along to a beekeeping course.
Today was the day. I needed to know if I could handle it. How would I feel with lots of bees buzzing around me? Possibly upset at me being there. After over an hour in a bee suit, looking into bee hives and picking up frames to inspect, I now know. Yes! I can do this!
Next step is a full beekeeping course. Then some bees. Next time, I’ll probably avoid wearing the suit on such a hot day and using manuka honey moisturizer!
Journey home.
(Couldn’t resist stopping near Cheddar for strawberries to take home. Yum!)
Oh good luck. I’d love to have bees one day too. Juliex
Not there yet, but one step closer. 😀
i have an allergy that would keep me from bee keeping, but i have friends with bees who are generous with their honey, so i consider myself lucky!
i will enjoy following your bee adventure vicariously though!
Lucky you having a good supply of honey. It will be lovely to pot up the first honey jar.
How exciting.
I did a bee keeping course just before we ended up leaving the UK, and I never followed it up over here. The whole language thing is still kind of hard sometimes.
I still love the idea though, and know I will end up doing it one day.
Can’t wait to hear about your adventures with bees
I hope you have a chance to get your bees. Especially after putting in all the work.
Wow fabulous photos, certainly an different day! Mich x
Hmm. Not a typical day, but a lovely one.
