    I was led to believe that bees don't work red clover, only the white. But you saw bees working red!

    Was the pumpkin pollination a paid job?

    You’ll be becoming one of my favourite beekeeping person on RUclips. I’d love to know will you be paid anything for being on the pumpkins? Just curious?

    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

    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

    • @SimplyBeeutifulHoney

      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.

      It's probably the push we needed, Just not how or when I'd planned though 😂

    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

    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.

    • @SimplyBeeutifulHoney
      @SimplyBeeutifulHoney  Месяц назад

      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.
