What a season so far! Even with the cold winds and lack of high temperatures in Yorkshire, our bees have taken full advantage of any nice spells. We're seeing rapid expension and colonies dripping in nectar.

We'll not count our chickens but it bodes well for the rest of the year.

Theres a good chance the 2026 nucs will be bursting in weeks.

Hope your season is going to plan too.

It might feel like winter is round the corner but our friendly farmer has planted 100's of acres of cover crop which is providing oodles of pollen and late nectar for the bees to get themselves ready for winter.

If you look closely you'll see the flashes of purple which is Phacelia. One of the honey bees favourites!

Super active today in the sun.

Wasps have taken on more than they can chew with this hive. Thankfully, even though they're on attack mode the colony is so strong they cant get through the door.

Annoying year for wasps!

And there we go. 2025 honey season is over. All honey boxes extracted and packed away for winter. Phew.

Its been a funny old year (Granville!) But the good news is the honey stocks are replenished until spring at least!

Now it's time to get the bees ready for winter and because we run double brood boxes in most cases they have plenty of stores so hopefully it's a simple job.

Hopefully your bee season went well!
