THE BRITISH BEE
Bees are carefully selected by Kirsty from colonies showing the best Apis Melifera Melifera characteristics
Characteristics include:
-
Bees of dark colour enabling greater absorption of solar radiation
-
Bees with a compact brood pattern surrounded by an arc of pollen and honey stores, thus increasing survival rate in a long cold winter
-
Bees that fly in low temperatures
-
Bees that adjust their breeding rate to suit the weather and therefore income
-
Bees that produce good honey yields even in poor summers
-
Bees that cluster tightly in winter and are frugal in their consumption of stores
-
Bees that often choose not to swarm.

One of Kirsty’s British bees gathers nectar from the Flowering Currant that is abundant in the Ceiriog Valley.
