A #BritishAsian #beekeeper in Thamesmead, South East #London fights back against Asian #hornets

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/environment/asian-hornets-found-london-first-time-uk-thamesmead-beekeeping-bees-b1102132.html

I've seen some flying insect activity near our front walkway, and I'm fairly certain they're sweat bees. They're tiny and aren't aggressive, even when I stand 5-6 feet away from the area they're flying in and out of (which is the middle of a patch of geraniums).

Normally I'd just leave them be (ha!), but we're having work done to our walkway starting today, and I'm worried they'll swarm the workers. I'll let the contractor know, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Just want to follow up on a separate honey thread...
If you're not buying your RAW unfiltered honey from Miss Bee Haven Apiary in Adrian, MI find a different local beekeeper for your honey. Beekeepers are everywhere all you need to do is ask. Do not buy your honey at the supermarket.

#Random thought through my head recently: what #shampoo to use or make which is minimally scented... as a #beekeeper I find #bees are extremely sensitive to perfumes in hair/soaps/etc. and it's better to minimize scented soaps, etc. The "whatever random stuff is on sale" default here (I am not the shopper, typically) is not ideal. (Update: Looks like I am going to try to make Castile soap, which is made out of olive oil. I have all the supplies and ingredients needed here, LOL).

#Fall #honey harvesting has begun for this #beekeeper and crew. As a #hobbyist; my crew consists of my retired father, my spouse with #LongCovid on the occasions when the #COVID is being kind, and myself. This means we do not move as quickly as the #pro #apiarist, but we get it done. No stings for me, but several honey-coated bees chilled on me to clean up. This gave me a good excuse to just sit and watch them. Tomorrow is hive 3, and extraction.

🖋️ Today’s essentials: Beekeeper’s Journal & Sailor 1911 fountain pen in Royal Tangerine with a rhodium coated 21k medium nib. Perfect combination to keep track of what’s happening with beehives. #journal #beekeeper #pens #fountainpens

@SandHillThicket Another #beekeeper here. We had this issue for a numebr of years, until we figured out the bees around here DO NOT LIKE YELLOW FOUNDATION. (or white). We switched to black foundation and it fixed the comb problems!!!

Got a large honeybee comb down from a tree this morning. Had some queen pheromones on an old clip and the rest of the girls marched right into the bucket!

#Honigernte 🍯 begutachtet, es sind etwa 100kg feinster #BioHonig geworden. Bin zufrieden das ist die Hauptsache 👍.

Sodele... Die ersten 16 Volker sind zumindest Mal abgeerntet. Morgen kommt der Rest dran und Samstag wird geschleudert. Es scheint eine gute Sommerhonig Menge zu geben 🍯🐝👍.

Being an amateur #beekeeper is good spiritual practice. Because fear is an unaffordable luxury, you get exposure to loving something that can hurt you, and there's lots of practice in doing the right thing without expectation of reward.

I also got stung like six times, which is a personal record, and which is a pain level appropriate to many spiritual practices.

YOUR HOME IS FREE OF BEETLES AND MITES, YOU'RE WELCOME, ASSHOLES

5 neue Königinnen zum prüfen sind eingetroffen. Heute 5 Kunst-Schwärme gebildet die dann Sonntag in die Kisten wandern 🐝.

Amusing #beekeeper story. I am relocating a captured swarm from someone's backyard this week, and they asked if they could have honey from the swarm (and I had to explain that swarm won't have honey for another year or two... and that is if we are lucky/weather works out, etc.). Made me chuckle, lol. #beekeeping #honey

#Microsoft == unnötig Nerven aufreibend

Hab heute Stunden damit zugebracht von einem in #Rust Code geschriebenen Programm auf einen #MSSQLServer per #ODBC zuzugreifen. Hab es zwischendurch auch in #Python mit #sqlalchemy versucht. Mit #DBeaver ging's, mit #beekeeper ging's, per Ping ging's.
Bis ich mir endlich einen passenden #ADO String gebaut hatte der dem Server genehm war. 🙄
Sowas passiert mir bei #PostgreSQL nie und auch sonst kenne ich keine solche Diva DB.

Heute etwas Honig abfüllen 😁😁
