When the honey in each cell is reduced to the desired water content, the bee's then put a wax cap over it, seen in the middle of the frame 🍯

Pat + Jess shared a post on Instagram: "We spent the morning out working our hives at one of our apiaries in country Victoria. The bee's have been busy bringing in blackberry nectar, which produces a sweet and clear honey, seen covered in white wax cappings on the frames in this reel. It was bliss!....

It looks like we may get some blackberry honey this season 🐝 🙂 🍯

We are very excited to have completed our first batch of creamed honey 🍯 🙂. Creamed honey is the process of stirring the honey during crystallisation. The stirring action breaks the large crystal's down to very fine particles. The finished creamed honey will not crystallise again, and will stay in this delicate, smooth and buttery consistency, perfect for spreading over toast, crumpets or over the top of anything really 🙂

We hope our bee's like this new honey site 🤞🐝🍯 ##bees #beekeeper #beekeeping #beesofinstagram #beesarecool #pollinators #honey #pollen #Nectar #honeybees #honeycomb #garden #backyardbeekeeping #savethebees #pointcook #australia #melbourne #australianbeekeeping #swarm #swarmseason #beeswax #beeswarm #melbourne #australia #wildflower

Freshly harvested YouYangs honey now available in 1kg tubs 🐝🍯 After a winter check over the weekend, we found a few of our hives have done very well throughout winter, and we decided to do a small honey harvest 🙂.

A new bee site and the reason we moved some of our hives here...... buds 🌸🌼🌱 Let's hope the flowers yield plenty of nectar for our bee's 🐝

Each hive inspection involves checking all frames to ensure that the colony is healthy. On this frame we observed beautifully capped honey on one side and on the other, we can see capped brood (eggs which the Queen bee lays and then with care from the worker bees, develops into larvae and pupae in the cells of the comb). In this case the brood is surrounded by nectar (clear liquid visible in the cells) and small amounts of pollen (darker substance visible in the cells). Eventually the bees reduce the water content of the nectar and this is how honey is made! Do you find this as interesting as we do? 🐝 ##bees #beekeeper #beekeeping #beesofinstagram #beesarecool #pollinators #honey #pollen #Nectar #honeybees #honeycomb #garden #backyardbeekeeping #savethebees #pointcook #australia #melbourne #australianbeekeeping #swarm #swarmseason #beeswax #beeswarm #melbourne #australia #ireland #nativeirishblackbee #wildflower
