March 26th… somehow has a lovely ring to it. It makes you truly feel like spring is under way. The queen will be laying again, after the long winter months, and the new generation is on its way. I love talking about honeybees any time, any place, anywhere…. but early spring is just a little bit special as we all come out of the dark and into the light! I’m sure the members of this club are feeling the same as they see the wonderful flowers popping their heads out towards the spring sunshine… whoopee!
CATSHILL WI
Booked a year ago to the date on a balmy September afternoon. All the supers have been removed and honey spun. Bees are feasting on the Autumn Ivy preparing themselves for the winter months ahead. Very much looking forward to meeting these ladies!

PROBUS SANDY & DISTRICT LADIES PROBUS CLUB
September and the hives are preparing for autumn. The queen is slowing down and the drones are being ‘asked’ to leave! However, this queen bee is still going strong and looking forward to creating a buzz about the honeybees to these lovely ladies!
CLENT WI
What a beautiful part of the country. Looking forward to meeting the ladies of Clent WI to talk all things honeybees.
CHADDESLEY CORBETT WI
Looking forward to meeting the ladies at The Chaddesley Corbett WI. September is an interesting time for the honeybees, the drones are being kicked out, oh yes far more dramatic than being asked to leave, they workers literally throw them out and won’t allow them back in! Why, coz they’ve done their work and will add nothing more to the colony other than eat up the stores! The queen is slowing down on her laying and they are getting themselves ready for the winter months ahead!

ST CATHERINES BLACKWELL WI
Very much looking forward to meeting the ladies of St. Catherines Blackewell WI. Hopefully the weather will be better this year than 2023 and the bees will be simply buzzing with excitement with all the wonderful swathes of lavender and abundance of June flowers in peoples gardens. In June the honeybees rely on keen gardeners to supply them with the blooms they need as nature, naturally, has a gap in June as we cross over from Spring to Summer!
LEOMINSTER LIBRARY
Absolutely delighted to have been invited to give a talk at Leominster Library. Leominster is my nearest home town and I’m eager to create a buzz about honeybees so close to home!
