Geranium " Rozanne " what a Beautiful plant for colour all Summer, and much loved by Honeybees as a rich source of Nectar . Also here growing through it Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' great to attract Butterflies. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, especially " Rozanne " forms a mass carpet of Beautiful flowers from June till now 💜🐝🐝💜 #Beekeeping #LocalHoney #RawHoney #DublinHoney

Beautiful Flower meadow in #AirfieldEstate from earlier today. Great late season Nectar source for our Pollinators 💚🐝💚 #Beekeeping #RawHoney #LocalHoney #IrishFood

Beautiful day in Wexford working Hives. New queens clipped and marked . Four new colonies after dividing Hives came back with me. Hope I never have a crash. ....🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 !😂😂 Happy Days ! 😎👍 #Beekeeping #RawHoney #LocalHoney #IrishFood

Fantastic day Beekeeping. Beats the wind and rain ! 😎 Ended up coming home with 4 new colonies in the back of the car.... hope I never have a crash !. The Paramedics would never get to me with all the loose Bees ! 😂 #LocalHoney #Beekeeping #Healthfood #Irishfood

Nearing an end. Last buds on the Ling Heather "Calluna Vulgaris" Smaller flowered light pink blooms. Also in the photo Bell Heather "Erica Cinera" the purple larger Bell shaped flower. This has finished at this stage. The Honey produced is Beautiful, in Scotland ( same Heather ) analysed and found to be every bit as potent as the overpriced Manuka Honey. #HeatherHoney #Beekeeping #Healthfood #Irishfood

Up in the hills working the Hives on the Heather today. 🌸🌸. Beautiful up there !. Nectar piling in at an incredible rate, another week left if we get the weather. ☀️ Whilst down from the mountains we are waiting for the last major crop of the year, and hoping for a decent nectar flow from the soon to flower Ivy. Then that's it for 2017. Time to start planning for 2018 ! 😎 #Heather #HeatherHoney #Beekeeping
