First Bee Safari of 2022

This morning Members had the pleasure of attending Jan Horstink’s Apiary for the first bee safari of 2022.

Jan has an Apiary in Haughton with approximately 15-20 colonies in a number of hives, nucs, and a top bar hive.

It was a gloriously warm sunny morning in beautiful surroundings and the attending Members worked together to review and inspect a number of colonies, following a short briefing from Jan on each colony’s current status.

Afterwards Members cooled off refreshments and Jan’s signature Danish Apple Tart, (which I can confirm was extremely delicious!) and were them treat to a tour of Brazenhill Honey House – a very envious sight indeed!

Huge thanks to Jan for the kind invitation to visit your home and Apiary. The morning was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
