Summer
The Blue Borage flowers are out! Its time to get the boxes on for the bees to fill with this season’s honey. Once full the boxes are collected to be extracted.
Autumn
Its time to put the bees to bed for the winter, we ensure the bees have enough of their natural stores and are healthy enough to get through winter.
Winter
The bees are left alone in the depth of winter healthy and with boxes of honey, to ensure they will last througouht their hibernation in the mountains.
