Banba's Liquid Gold












What an amazing Queen young Banba is proving to be. The colony is active & industrious with the added bonus of a genteel temperament! On our latest inspection we were astounded to see the amount of young brood hatching, together with the sheer number of bees in the hive. Banba's first honey harvest is phenomenol. I love the picture of this curious little worker bee checking in on the 'Bee- Diary'. We removed a few frames of honey, leaving the majority for the hungry young brood to feed on. Despite our restriant the harvest still exceeds 20lb. It is an honour to live in harmony with these amazing little bees & partake in the harvesting of their 'liquid gold'.
