Popped to Aldi this morning, did a cursory sweep of the middle isle, managed to resist buying a canoe, charcoal, a lettuce spinner and a giant fleece lined slipper. #Win

[New post] Don't rush. Take your time. The memories from these last few weeks of the beekeeping season will have to last you until early next spring.

I’ve decided it smells of Autumn here at home. We’ve had some rain, not nearly enough but some. Many plants are sighing in relief. The home hives are suddenly busy, the bees have found some nectar after all these dry months.

Just finished emptying the attic. Job needed doing for past few years. Going to dump some stuff, flog some stuff and keep some stuff. I never need go up there again. Hopefully. At my age and flexibility it was touch & go, and I’m not even that old. 😁
