We've been a little quiet lately. Enjoying the summer.... We do have some stalls coming up as of September. The bee's have kept us busy as it's been a bit of a rollercoaster.

But let's talk wax wraps for a moment.
I've started making Sourdough, and so much as I use our wax wraps daily anyway, they have been invaluable on my sourdough journey. Large ones have been used in force to cover my loaf ends and mixing bowls for the many hours of fermenting and proofing.
This morning I have started a little experiment with a stiff starter, I found the perfect wee jar but had no lid. I cut the smallest size into quarters and made the cutest little cover for my diddy starter in my diddy jar. Oh the versatility 🙌🏼
We do a set of 3 square wraps (12 inch, 9 inch, 6 inch) for just £10. Lucky for me that I make them as I have a small fortunes worth in rotation.

And lastly, I big thank you to our returning customers. We've made local deliveries and posted out lots of our beeswax skincare balms.
And yes Jo Rountree this definitely includes you 🤣 winning the award for the most lavender 🪻 and waterlily balm and a lip balm combo going to one person 🫶🏼

Yesterday I went to check on my new queens.

The first, I am undecided if she has been out on mating flights, her abdomen wasn't as enlarged as it should be but I also feel she's larger than a virgin queen, I'll be giving her another week and checking on hopeful progress.
The second is mated but not yet laying eggs and should be well away anytime.
The third was on fire with a lovely egg laying pattern. So I'm very relieved that 2 of the 3 hives are now queen right, and there's still time for the first queen to be successful 🙌🏼🥰

Did you know that a queen will mate, mid air with 10 to 20 drones, sometimes more.... And the drones die, similar with what happens when a bee stings... But with his little bee w***y. Brutal but fascinating.

Did you know... The proper term for a swarm of bees that has landed in a clump to rest while looking for a new home, is a BIVOUAC (pronounced bi-voo-ak). I've never actually heard this term used, but there you have it 🤷🏼‍♀️

We can finally appreciate some down time after a very busy couple of weeks.
Having Jorgie and Joie at home today and being in the garden I finally got around to some hive equipment maintenance.
Burning the boxes is a great way to clean and sterilise, killing any disease and freshening them up for new bees. Off with the old paint, on with the new.

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.
