    We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
    We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
    Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

    We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

    My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

    Great advice for anyone facing this problem 👍 And a good reminder to everyone to continue hefting their hives 👏👏🇬🇧

    there is also solution to put bees in warmer space and give them heavy syrup, after they store it in the comb return the hive back to the apiary...anything is ok but starvation and think about that next summer

    Would be good if you investigated some of the winter methods from the US. They seem to be able to feed them pure sugar using the mountain camp method or simply using sugar bricks (compacted sugar) much cheaper than buying fondant.

    Hi Sir, i started following your RUclips channel and saw your honey house with machines. Can you by any means guve me an estimate for the entire set up.

    I have read that the process of heating sugar syrup to make fondant forms HMF, which might be toxic to bees. Any thoughts?

    Its -44 C here in Northern Alberta. Feeding is very hard to do in the winter.

      Can you add fondant?
      What do you do to feed yours?

    • @LukeTelff
      @LukeTelff 8 месяцев назад +1

      @lynnerousseau9676 always done syrup. But cannot add anything in the cold weeks. Have R30 insulation on top and R15 on sides.

    Agree 100% Laurence, but I dont like to use fondant becuase it is made of powder sugar. I like to use regular sugar instead.
