Episode 104: Let The Season Commence!

Beekeeping - Short and Sweet

We have a winner in our Honey Paw Competition and It’s all systems go this weekend and despite the Coronavirus, beekeeping in isolation begins, stay tuned for my latest update and plans for this weekend.

I’m grateful to Honey Paw hives for sponsoring in part our podcasts for this season. Honey Paw hives are, as I’m sure you’re aware, Poly Langstroth hives and we’re setting up an apiary full of their hives this season courtesy of Honey Paw. Check out their range of hives and other equipment on their website, I’ll leave a link to their website in the show notes as usual.

Honey Paw Hives - Designed by Beekeepers, For Beekeepers.

Welcome back to the podcast, and, without further delay, the winner of the Honey Paw Poly Langstroth Hive competition is Ricky Taylor who lives in Gibraltar, he correctly answered the question I posed, along with quite a number of others but he was the lucky one randomly drawn from the list of correct entries and wins the fantastic Honey Paw hive. I’m arranging to send the box of kit over to Ricky and hopefully, once he’s got it made up he’ll send us a photograph or two showing it in action for me to share.

Apart from the excitement of the competition, I’ve had a bit of a nightmare week, I should qualify that by saying anything I do with my beekeeping is totally insignificant compared to the work currently being undertaken by everyone out there helping us all get through the coronavirus outbreak and I really don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill but what a couple of days I had midweek.
