About Hen Corner

We are Hen Corner. We love the bee keepers, the veggie bed diggers, the jam makers and cider drinkers, the chicken fanciers and the real bread bakers. But not just in the deepest darkest countryside or the far, far away villages but right here in our cities and towns.

I’ve just given them a special treatment to help fight off varroa mites and all three colonies are thriving 🐝🐝🐝 Thanks to all my neighbours and their pollen rich gardens there’s still food to be found when it’s warm enough to fly 😊

Now is the time to cut back dry grapevines and give the fruit trees a good old prune. Large branches are cut to store for firewood and smaller trimmings make a great addition to the compost bin which thrives on a balanced mix of browns & greens.

I’ve been blessed today by meeting these women.
