Thank you to Techtron UK and Dariusz for the speedy and efficient delivery of this new piece of kit, a Steam Wax Extractor press.
A great and very well made machine to aid in the extraction of pure beeswax from capping's, old combs etc.
I highly recommend this new uk company with great customer service and quality gear.👍🐝

So after a long wet winter the first pollen of 2026 is being brought into the hive on the 3rd of March.
Winter can be tough on the bees especially here in Scotland, but the bees have done this for thousands of years and know what to do.
The beekeeprs job is to supply them with shelter , keep them dry, away from pests and ensure they go into winter with adequate stores to see them through the long winter months ahead. When spring finally arrives the colonies begin the build up to reach maximum strength through the summer to reproduce and gather stores once again
