These bees were so calm during honey extraction that Gareth didn’t even need to use the smoker until halfway through! 🐝🍯 We always ensure to leave plenty of stores on the hive, so our bees have enough natural food to thrive throughout the winter and spring without needing any sugar supplements. Happy bees, happy beekeepers! | Manchester Honey Company

It is easy and convenient to blame varroa for the failure of a colony but I can be down to many reasons. In this case the queen isn’t laying well and we just don’t know the reason. | Manchester Honey Company

Ever lost or misplaced a hive tool while working in an apiary? This apiary doesn’t even have grass or undergrowth to get lost in. This might be the most common question asked by beekeepers. | Manchester Honey Company

Bees are highly protective of their hive and will actively defend the entrance against intruders or perceived threats. They use their numbers and coordinated efforts to guard the entrance, often becoming aggressive to ward off any potential dangers. However, experienced beekeepers are aware of this defensive behavior and have developed techniques to work around it. Instead of approaching from the front where the bees are most vigilant, beekeepers typically access the hive from the top. This meth

Three years ago, Beahive opened its doors in Manchester with a dream, a few chairs, and way too much caffeine. Since then, we’ve survived two renovations, welcomed 15 incredible bees into the hive, thrown events and classes, leveled up our space with color and chaos, launched new services, and of course—done an absolutely obscene amount of hair. To our ride-or-die clients: THANK YOU. You’ve cheered us on, sat through drywall dust and rearranged schedules, and kept showing up with love, trust, an

Today during our beekeeping course with @manchesterbeekeeping, we witnessed an incredible moment — a baby bee emerging from its cell! One of the things I love most about beekeeping is how every hive visit holds a new surprise.

This lovely swarm in Chorlton Manchester was all on one branch so easy to collect. Gareth cut them down and gently shook them into the hive box below. The hive box stays in position until the bees return later in the day from their foraging. It will be collected and placed in an apiary where they will be checked regularly to keep them disease free and healthy. #beekeeper #swarm #beekeeping | Manchester Honey Company

When we first started we trialled a few different ways to seal hives and this one was perhaps not the best in hindsight. Bees need to be moved at night while all the bees are in the hive so there were moved at 5am and it is light by 7am. We are in full bee suits not just for the bees but because the midges were horrific. #beekeeping #learning #bees | Manchester Honey Company

Visits to the apiary are always a pleasure, and today was no different. We had a curious group of visitors who tasted honey straight from the hive and asked some thoughtful questions about the bees. There were plenty of photos too, with everyone getting a turn in a bee suit. As often happens, there was a bit of antisocial behaviour around the site, but today it was only a can of cider and a basketball. Overall, it was a calm and enjoyable day spent with the bees and some very engaged guests. | M

Would you date a beekeeper? 👀 Let’s be honest… Conversation topics: 90% bees, 10% “let me just show you this hive photo”. Social skills: questionable. They’d usually rather be alone in a field with 50,000 insects than at a party. Romantic nights out: “Can we just swing by the apiary first?” But… Loyal? Absolutely. Hardworking? Always. Needing feeding? Constantly. Please send snacks. So yes, dating a beekeeper might be a bit weird, a bit sticky and a lot bee-focused… But you’ll never be short of

Thank you, 2024! This year was full of highlights: Expanding from 92 to 162 hives, with plans to cap at 200 next year. Growing from 40 to 85 production colonies. Overcoming a challenging spring to produce an incredible 1.8 tonnes of honey during a brilliant summer. Consistently crafting homemade soaps despite numerous setbacks. Selling over 300 lip balms and introducing beeswax candles for the first time. Investing in new extraction equipment. Managing an entire beekeeping season with just a sma

During this time of year, it’s completely normal for summer bees to have died off. However, the cold weather prevents the remaining bees from flying out to clear the dead bees from the hive. Once the first warm day arrives, beekeepers will often notice a large number of dead bees outside their hives as the colony finally removes the summer bees. #winter #winterbees #sad | Manchester Honey Company
