It’s been a while since I’ve paid the honeybees a visit or that I made a beekeeping video! Over the winter I’ve left them alone as little as possible and it’s just now in April that I can have a good look.

Opening up a beehive means taking the roof off, and then looking through the colonies from top to bottom. This can chill the bees which is why you need it to be relatively warm and calm outside.

Early spring is a critical time for honeybees since they’re beginning to rebuild their numbers and need food to do it. There’s a high chance that their winter stores of honey are depleted so I’m checking my colonies, Primrose and Bluebell, to make sure that they have enough.

In this video:
✽ Checking the honeybee colonies for damp
✽ Making sure the bees have enough honey
