Thoroughly enjoyed getting to chair Matthew's talk today. Rare to meet someone who has the scientific skill, business acumen and ability to engage the public so successfully. I look forward to seeing how these many exciting projects develop!
Co-Founder Matthew Elmes is delivering a lecture at @nathoneyshow stage about using science to combat pollinator decline. Two legends in the front row! @BeeCraftMag #scillybees #nathoneyshow

One of the things I love about @nathoneyshow is the lack of hierarchy. We are just members of a family who share a common passion. Here are two hugely inspirational, modest and lovely beekeepers, they happen to be Jeff Pettis President @apimondia and @nicolabradbear @BeesForDev.
I have a love-hate relationship with Friday @nathoneyshow. On one hand a great programme on the main stage kicking off with veteran bee farmer Willie Robson. On the other, a day of fantastic research lectures hosted by @BeeCraftMag. I guess it's a 'good' predicament to be in?!
Always a treat to chat with the hugely knowledgeable and entertaining Jerry Burbridge of @nthnbeebooks. You just have to accept that you will be interrupted by a constant stream of the great and the good, as well as simple book-lovers like me, wanting a few minutes of his time!
The lovely Chris from @threehareshoney being plied with old bee books by Jerry to review! 📚
Come and browse our new + old bee books at @nathoneyshow Thurs~Sat. Lots of wonderful traders here! 📍 Sandown Park Racecourse, Surrey.
Great to be back @nathoneyshow. Stellar day 1 line up, including @apimondia President Jeff Pettis, @nicolabradbear of @BeesForDev, Roger Patterson and @DaveGoulson. Extraordinary beekeeping wisdom and cutting edge science woven together by a common thread. Change. Exciting times!
It's been a busy year of reading, discussing, thinking and writing about what being a more #responsible, #sustainable and #ethical #beekeeper might look like. Not much time for actual beekeeping though! I look forward to putting some of this into practice next season @BeeCraftMag
Family illness and last-minute daddy duty meant I couldn't get to @Cornwallbees #BitOfADo in #Truro. Very disappointed. Then again, not such a bad day to go #paddling, #rockpooling and #foraging for sweet #chestnuts and #windfall #apples. #Devon #autumn
Just received my sampling kit from @PollenizeCIC as part of a #CitizenScience project to genetically profile #Devon's #honey #bees and establish baseline data. Great to hear @NCarreck and @BeebytesCIC give more detail last night. @project_b4 @BeeCraftMag @BayfieldFarrell @DevonCC
The project only needs ONE bee per apiary. Contact Will Bayfield-Farrell: [email protected] for more info. @britishbee @tivvybeekeepers

Calling Devon Beekeepers! Can you help us with a ground-breaking citizen science project? We just need ONE BEE SAMPLE from apiaries across the county! #beekeepingdevon #devon #honeybees #beekeepinguk @BeesinDevon @beekeeping_uk
Fascinating afternoon with @bachwoodworks discussing insulating wooden hives using cork board on the walls and an upper quilt/crown board containing wool. He adds a cool sump at the base for water condensation. Lots to consider! @pguythompson #responsible #sustainable #beekeeping
