Katkoot’s Personal Notes on bees and everything else bees. These are my personal opinions and thoughts, reflected through my own understanding and experience so far.

Cyprus Honey Festival

On June 23, 2019June 24, 2019 By KatkootIn Personal Notes4 Comments

As a beekeeper based in the UK, I have not been as active in the Cypriot scene, as I would have hoped or should have been. My knowledge and experiences have all come solely from my grandfather and his love for bees, but the boundaries of that school had always stopped there; until this year. …

#022 Happy bee, happy me!

It seems like January is flying by, as though everything and everyone is running away from the end of 2018. Was it that bad? It's either that, or we are all chasing after the resolutions we (hastily?) made at the beginning of 2019. Perhaps a little bit of both, with a sprinkle of peer pressure. …
