Last year, we adopted a beehive as part of our drive to be a more sustainable company, and we wanted to do something to help the local countryside. Following on from our last update, the latest news from Stuart Weekes from SW Honey Farms is all about the hive inspection. 🐝 Once temperatures consistently reach around 13°C or higher, Stuart opens up the hives to check on the bees, their young (called brood), and their food storage. This is the first glimpse at the bees to see how they are, how effective their treatments have been and how well the worker bees have protected their queen. The queen bee is essential to the colony's health and so needs to be checked too. Stuart says, “I look for signs of her presence, such as eggs, larvae, and capped brood cells. I also check her physical health to investigate her viability for the new beekeeping season.” How exciting! Fingers crossed Stuart finds that our bees are having a good season this year. 🤞 Keep an eye out for our next update with the final checks that Stuart has to carry out as we get closer to our pot of honey! 🍯 #Bee #Honey #Nature #SaveTheBees #Sustainability #AskAvrion #TechnologyPartner #Technology #DigitalTransformation #ProblemSolving

No single honeybee can live on its own for very long. While the collective hive could live forever, the individual bees are mortal, and they depend on each other to survive. https://bit.ly/3V7w1cI #foxhoundbeeco #beekeeping #beekeepingtips

Did you know today, August 17, is World Honey Bee Day? World Honey Bee Day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of August to raise awareness about the importance of honey bees and the need to protect them due to their critical role in pollination and sustaining ecosystems. Fun Facts: 🐝 Fast Flyers: Honey bees fly at about 15 mph, with wings beating 200+ times per second. 🐝 One Queen: A hive can have up to 60,000 workers, but only one queen. 🐝 Hexagon Genius: Bees build hexagonal cells, maximizing space with minimal material. 🐝 Dance Talk: Bees use a "waggle dance" to share food source locations. 🐝 Honey Makers: It takes 12 bees' lifetimes to make one teaspoon of honey. #WorldHoneyBeeDay #HoneyBee #Honey #HRProfessional #TalentAcquisition #Recruiter

Beekeeping Tip! Having two hives can be a bit more expensive, but it gives you more management options. If one colony goes queenless, you can transfer eggs from the healthy hive to make up for it. #beekeeperlife #beekeepinglife #ilovebees
