Returning

Slow blogging from me lately as I have been caught up with other activities. But I have been amazed at the response to the bell jar bees. A German beekeeping magazine expects to be featuring the pictures, so I look forward to that.

I've had an interesting email from Manuel in Portugal who tells me that as an amateur beekeeper with 100 colonies, he is concerned with the attitude of his government to beekeeping. As a result he thinks beeekeeping is not financially sustainable in Portugal and that consumers tend to look at honey as a medicine rather than an important food.
