Our single oven can bake 16 x 500g loaves at a time, using 4.8kg of flour and 3 hours.

Half are sponsored by my customers and I match their generosity 🤗

That’s a wrap for this year’s bee keeping sessions!
In total we’ve had 133 guests come to Hen Corner for Bee Keeping courses this year, not to mention the schools that we’ve visited and the synagogue session next month (honey is a big part of Jewish New Year celebrations).
Family chicken keeping courses will continue throughout autumn and the bee keeping season will start again in April.
Come on you bees!

I’ve just been out to collect the smallest swarm

I’ve just been out to collect the smallest swarm ever, but spotted their beautiful queen and brought them back to Hen Corner to nurture over the coming weeks. It can only go one of two ways, but at least they won’t sting the children in the garden (they had settled on a swing) or move into an air vent or chimney pot (and cost thousands to remove!).
Good luck little bees 🐝 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🐝
