Field Lane Honey bees

Oooo exciting we’re here to see Reception class with the bees. 🐝 🐝🐝🐝

A lovely visit from Hambleton Brownies yesterday. So glad the rain stopped as they walked from the village to see the bees and learn all about them. We are open this weekend 10-3. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 .

Another brilliant Home Education Session at Field Lane Honey Bees this morning learning all about the the bees and honey and a big thank you to all our visitors over the weekend (you cleared the shelves of honey😱). Don’t worry they will be fully stocked ready for next weekend. Thank you ☺️🐝🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯🍯🍯A couple of photos sent from one of our lovely customers Jo. Thank you. ☺️

We’ve had a buzzing time delivering a Home education session this afternoon. We looked at the observation hive, talked about the bees and their life cycle, tasted honey, looked at comb and frames, coloured in wooden bees, looked at the Yellow legged hornet, fed the chickens and took pictures with veils on at the virtual hive. The age group was 3 -8 and of course the parents so we made sure there was something for all the ages. Thank you for asking us to deliver a home education session for you😊. We also received a delivery of booklets from the National Bee Unit for beekeepers, budding beekeepers or anyone who has an interest. We are open this weekend 10-3 as usual. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

We had a fabulous visit from Sherburn U3A Gardening group committee this morning. The weather was a bit hit and miss but plenty to see in the observation hive, eggs, larvae, the Queen, bees washboarding, lots of questions and everyone has a great time. As usual we were too busy chatting and forgot to get a group photo🙄. We have another group attending tomorrow so hopefully we might remember to get some pics. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 We love what we do. 😊

We’ve been so busy this week, we haven’t had chance to post. Deliveries, inspections, extracting, a nice little swarm picked up from Hambleton Village, an incoming swarm into the bait bucket ( there’s bees in my bucket dear Darren dear Darren, there’s bees in my bucket dear Darren there’s bees 🐝 🤣🤣) Proving to be very popular for swarms my bucket. 🪣. We are open this weekend as usual 10-3. We had a fabulous bank holiday weekend. Thank you for everyone who joined us. We have Bees 🐝 ice cream, cake, hot and cold drinks. There’s dragonflies on the pond, cinnabar moths, grass hoppers and the picture below is apparently a Puss moth if it is I’m glad I didn’t find it as a caterpillar 🐛. 😱. But I’m not sure 🤔. If anyone knows its exact identity please let us know. 👍

Unfortunately we have just had notification that Holly and her Mini Beasts are not able to attend tomorrow. We don’t like to disappoint but sometimes things are out of our control. Hopefully we can arrange another date. The good news is the bees are extremely busy during this hot weather so you can still come along and see these magnificent creatures busy working and peek in the observation hive to see the workings of a colony. We’re stocked up on ice cream to keep you cool 😎 Open 10-3 tomorrow. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
