There's strongly fought competition for Fell Racing, Wrestling, Border Collies, Border terriers,
Baking, Photography, flowers, veg. and of course stick-making. QB's got a First (again) - no not getting smug about it!
valley I think we will soon be able to make a convincing case to the Show committee.
QB had NO HONEY left to sell at the Show this year. However B. BEE had some to spare - thank goodness. QB's beeswax candles drew a lot of interest - but not many were sold.
Bellingham is promoting local crafts on Sat. 5th, 12th,and 19th at The Fountains (Cafe) so QB is hoping
to support Bellingham Parish Council by exhibiting the beeswax candles on 12th and 19th.
See you there? If this proves popular it could become a permanent exhibition - like The Chantry in Morpeth.
Can't finish without asking you all "Why didn't these tomatoes get First?"
PS. When feeding your bees with sugar syrup in a rapid feeder pour slowly to give them time to escape
from the rising level of syrup.
Also keep (for 5 years) a record of the Batch no. and Expiry date of the product.
Cracking display QueenBee. Thanks for the shipment of honey, it will keep us going down here in Cardiff for a good while! (Why are they different colours?)
ReplyDeleteHi Ad-bee, I was afraid we'd (accidentally) chucked you out with the drones! (See 2/8/13) "Bring out the drones".
ReplyDeleteDiff. colours - same hive. Dark is poss. high heather content - different consistency.
Let me know what you think when you taste it.
The darker one has a more earthy smell and taste, the lighter more floral and much sweeter. I'm not sure which is better - maybe I'll try blending them to make the perfect honey!
