Apparently beekeepers buy their jars in Autumn – the essex beekeepers did a bulk buy so I collected my order of 246 0.5lb jars today from a Turkey Farm in Stock in preparation for a potential honey harvest. I met Giles there (EBKA member), an experienced beekeeper, who told me that this has been the worst year for beekeeping in all his years because the weather has been bad for the bees. Also told me that he has had to feed the bees otherwise they won’t survive the winter. It’s funny because my mum keeps telling me not to!
