Another fantastic and well explained video, my bees are hopefully going to the Heather tomorrow evening.
I got stung on the nose a couple of weeks ago when I scratched my nose with the veil on, never again, I looked like the elephant man!

What is so special about this spot, The Heather?

Really well explained thumbs up. bees always seems bad-tempered on the heather something to do with the nectar even a good tempered hive turns bad. I've just been to look at the Heather's Shropshire Hills and it's just starting. Seems to recovered from The Drought 2 years ago. We like to have some for the shows it easier to get first prizes because less entries with Heather honey let's hope the temperatures are high enough for a good flow. Going back probably about 16 years ago lots of bees died on the heather there was no flow at all for the whole time we lost a few hives temperature was too low. There was a warning in the Bee craft bees are dying on the Heather go and check your bees. Good luck.

Thanks for the video, very informative! I’m from the states, if you get an opportunity, please show the heather. Also, what are the honey characteristics? Why is it so difficult to work?
