Stepped outside today, the first real hum of activity at the entrance to the #beehives. The colonies have come through this incredibly wet winter, strong and ready. Now a little food to make sure this activity does not reduce stores. The hive insulation will stay on a while longer. #Beekeeping
Getting ready for the upcoming Beekeeping Season! Who else is excited? Have you got your 2026 kit in the shed yet!?

A question so many people ask: what effect does hive #insulation have? In Punjab in #Pakistan they tested several types of wooden hives. One was insulated and it "exhibited superior colony growth across all assessed variables".

Checking one of my favourite #beehives - the beautifully painted AZ hive at the Slovenian Embassy in Canberra.
Strong colonies, lots of honey, but also the first signs of Varroa in these hives.
Beautiful hives! I wish I could figure out what I was doing wrong. I had 2 hives over 2 years. None of them stayed. 😪🐝 #Bees #BeeKeeper #Apiary #BeeHives #WhyCantIKeepBees

Scientists and engineers are deploying AI-powered robotic #beehives that can monitor, care for, and protect bee colonies from climate stresses (like heat, disease, and food shortages) to help reduce hive losses and support #pollination. 🐝

Me in a beekeeper outfit. Beige long sleeved jacket with a net "helmet" covering my head. Classes and smiling inside the helmet. Pink pants. Behind me is a barn and two other people in full body beekeeper outfits.
Beehive boxes, multicoloured in pinks, orange, yellow, purple and blue in a clearing in the woods. Apple trees behind the hives. Five peopel in beekeeper outfits walking through the hives.
Closer views of one hive, three boxes high. A cluster of bees are at the opening on the lower edge of one box.
I visited my Toronto Bee Rescue beehive share today. In a few months I'll receive my 1/4 share of the harvest. In the past it's been from 7 - 21 lb depending on weather and hive health. 2025 is shaping up to be a good year. #bees #beehives #buycanadian #shoplocal

Winter here, so in the shed doing prep for spring with my #beehives, which is about as nerdy as it gets!
Also glad that I am missing the subtext of this!

(2/4) “Bees swarmed” twice in June 1787, and again in May 1789. In May 1791, #JamesMadison’s father wrote, “Sowed Colly flowers by the Bee House,” which was probably a partly enclosed structure for #beehives.
Robotic #beehives could help save the world’s #pollinators. In a bid to protect #bees from #climate change, Beewise has developed a #robotic #hive that insulates them from harmful weather and uses #AI to monitor their health. The startup is one of BloombergNEF Pioneers competition winners
Fun project this week using only materials I already had. Nothing fancy, but they look fresher, cleaner and cute enough. The bees' knees, as my grandmother might've said. All set for our newbees next month.
