Following on from my video feeling pretty deflated. I wanted to share this... How quickly things can change.

Interesting turn of events. My big hive has lost their queen, no eggs or open brood, just capped brood and lots of emergency capped queen cells, meaning the queen has been gone for a good 8 or 9 days atleast. It's unfortunate to lose a queen but there's more positives here...
It has created a brood break, which is a great natural way of getting rid of varroa mites (parasites), it also meant that I could put queen cells in my 2 queenless hives and because Alex hive is so full and strong, I made up a nuc with a queen cell to create a new colony. For further back up, I caged a queen cell to allow her to emerge and stay safe incase another queen doesn't emerge or any other colonies have a failed queen.
🤞🏼. Furthermore, the queen is much further developed than if they had to raise one from scratch 🐝👑

Today I went to feed to bees to help them out and couldn't help but take a sneaky peek as a queen had emerged during transit yesterday, I was thrilled to see 2 new queens and the weather is looking good so we are hopeful for successful mating flights.

This rollercoaster weather has been tough on the bees. I posted this video on my personal page on Tuesday, things went bad to worse on Wednesday with virgin queens not mated and now unable to do so due to their age. Beekeepers are really feeling the struggle. Eco-Buzz is a business based on beeswax... However the focus and aim is maintaining the health and building strength of the colonies. I just wanted to offer some honest insights and feelings behind the scenes.

Do you wonder why your fresh, natural honey ends up crystallised? 🍯

Pre beekeeping, I had an expectation that honey should stay runny and clear 🤦🏼‍♀️ the first time I harvested honey, I learned when and how to do so. What I didn't expect was my honey to start 'setting', for it to no longer look like the stereotypical "honey".

Being me Jenny Charlton 🙋🏼‍♀️.... Off I trot to my books and good old Google. I didn't want to simply know that crystallisation is a good and solid sign of pure and natural honey, I had to know why and how, and why some supermarket honey doesn't do this. To keep it brief I've found these information sheets to explain. There's a common misconception that crystallised honey has spoiled, turns out that it's normal and a good thing 😃🍯

Morning ❤️
Here's our video from Saturday. Tats Samantha Weldon in her new bee suit. Jorgie was chief photographer and comb cutter and Jenny Charlton ... The expert.
Just imagine this video to the Star wars tune... It's way better 😅
Saturdays honey 🍯 extraction was successful.
JC is our unsung hero. We needed him towards the end of pressing the comb to squeeze out that gold.
Mmm 😋 bee-autiful ❤️

Little low down on wax extraction, using the solar melter. We absolutely love this piece of kit. It costs nothing to leave sat outside ready for the sun and is the most efficient way we have found for separating old brood wax from everything that is not wax 🐝

All the wax we produce is safe to use in our products, no chemical residue from any hive treatments for Varoa (bee parasites). 🥰

We found this swarm in the field after checking on some bees. Found the queen stuck in the grass at the very end and her wings were all torn up so she was unable to fly. I was meant to check the bees on Friday, but went to remove some from a property and luckily left it till Sunday. It was fate, because I wouldn't have gone otherwise and this swarm would have died now that the weather has turned and they would have stayed loyal to their queen and stayed with her.
If you zoom in on the photo of the queen you can see her wing damage. They are in a hive now, safe and dry 🐝🥰 Jorgie was my little helper, and an amazing help she was.

So here's the story from A to Z, if you wanna get with me (Eco-Buzz ) you gotta listen (read) carefully.... (Yup, that's the Spice Girl in me).

A couple of years ago, myself (Jenny) and Tats (Sam), really wanted some beeswax wraps, that we didn't want to pay a small fortune for.... So off I go and source some local beeswax and other ingredients. Then I thought 💭🤔 oh, I might make some moisturiser, my hands get so dry with doing the horses and being outside alot...

Then we thought 💭🤔 hang on, these would be great little Christmas presents. Approximately 2 days later, we had Danny on board and BOOM 💥🤯 Just like the big bang, Eco-Buzz was born.

Please take a moment to follow us and invite others. We started so small. We now host a successful stall with wonderful products at local craft fairs, we are happy to post orders. We have amazing regular and new customers and receive fantastic feedback from out moisturising balms.

We love Eco-Buzz and we couldn't do it without the support you have all shown us. Please share the bee 🐝 love. All hail the bees 🙌🏼
