Inside the Enemy’s Lair

On February 1, 2019January 31, 2019 By KatkootIn Personal Notes, Training5 Comments

Two weeks ago, I received an email with an exciting invitation from another beekeeper. Mike, had been called out to a golf course to collect what the owners suspected was an Asian Hornet hive. The invitation was for me to join him in the dissection of the hive itself, so naturally I said yes! Ok, …

READ: The Buzz About Bees

On January 27, 2019 By KatkootIn Book Review, Reviews9 Comments

This book seems to be a staple amongst those brave enough to take the first step into gaining more (technical) knowledge about bees. I was lucky enough to know a beekeeper who owned it and was willing to lend it to me to read. At first I felt a little cheated, felt that the first …

#022 Happy bee, happy me!

Happy New Year to all! I hope you have had a great holiday break with lots of love, food and of course presents! Not surprisingly, several of my presents were heavily bee-related which in turn instantly triggered my inner bee-chatter to be released upon those around me. (Sorry! not sorry...) The biggest gift of all …

I recently realised the wider impact that beekeeping has to my life. I am extremely more aware of my surrounding environment, of the flowers (a lot of them used to just be called weeds), of the insects and the birds. I am more aware of what is sprouting from the ground and what my stomping …
