DrBeekeeper’s Beekeeping Diary: December 2015

Beekeeping Diary this December…

Brrr!…It’s starting to get quite chilly out there.  It’s always a worrying time for beekeepers when the temperature drops – we’re hoping the bees are nice and warm in the hive.  It’s incredible that bees somehow maintain the temperature within the hive regardless of the time of year and weather conditions outside.  At DrBeekeeper, we always ensure our bees have plenty of their own honey to help them through the winter (we don’t feed our bees sugar!).  This month, as Christmas approaches, we’ll be sharing some of our honey gift ideas, as well as some home honey remedies.  We’ll also travel to Pakistan as we learn about the threats to sustainable beekeeping there (DrBeekeeper loves travelling!).  In our final post for the year we’ll share DrBeekeeper’s New Year Honey Cake recipe – must be tried!
