State of play in numbers, 12 apiaries of 20 cleared of honey supers, so 8 left, that’s 300 full supers (500 are back) to still to return, so we are around 60% complete and expect to finish clearing honey around Halloween 😬 two weeks earlier than last year but a bigger harvest 👍

Whilst this years heather crop was poor we did manage to squeeze out an entire years worth of heather cut comb 👌 such a relief

Our 2025 spring/summer cut comb boxes safely stored, these are all fully capped frames of honey (unwired) - I can’t tell you how stressful it is producing this volume each year #BeeFarmer

In numbers, as of today we’ve got 699 supers sat on 299 full colonies, 58 of these are sat on the heather moors, I’ve already harvested 1.22 tonnes of honey and the end forecast is approaching 7 tonnes 😀 all a bit daunting 💪 picture from today too

Buried the little rabbit earlier, we’ve had some heavy rain so figured the ground would be damp but dug down 12” and it was bone dry all the way - going to take months of rain to fix things 💧
