Harvesting aginst all the odds!

Finally started harvesting here in Corseul Brittany, France.
Sometimes things dont go to plan and its a hard job pulling honey ( small amounts of honey ) in the rain! however little by little this year it will be done!
Fingers and, toes and everything else crossed for a good summer flow!!

Paris pickpocketers are infamous. They're highly skilled at what they do, so nobody should feel bad for being a target.

[@osok5492]

Feed them syrup of course you will harvest that!

[@StanGore-mk8ow]

so sorry that happened......nothing worse than a thief. Glad you and your daughter had a great time!!! great attitude Richard

[@Devonhoneyandcandles]

that sucks Richard, those pickpockets are pros. Best start robbing the bees of some of that honey to make you feel better 😀

[@dgoodhoney3000]

Sirdo, The person who took your sins now has to deal with it. If only they knew that they were taking your sins 😮. The universe is watching and keeping records, stay safe and healthy to do beekeeping tomorrow 😊.

[@davidmaloney2724]

Jeepers pick pockets. Sorry to hear that. Same feeding today. Hey at least you got some honey. ;)

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

Wallet in your backpack? Darn.

[@nancynolton6079]

We received tons of cold and rain just as the major nectar flow trees (black locust and tulip poplar) started to bloom (usually they don't bloom together). Rains and cold washed out or rotted blooms on the trees. Bees had built up perfectly and then the rains and cold descended for weeks. Total washout going to be feeding as well here in Pennsylvania USA

[@capebee4839]

Always keep your supers covered. It's amazing how quickly the bees can rob out the honey from the supers. Also any dust contamination will act as seed for crystallization. Especially true as it starts getting drier.

[@keithspillman]

Tough times......nothing like hard work with little reward. Hope the weather clears and the blooms pop soon for you!!!

[@robertwattam947]

Crap whether crap pick pockets keep chin up Richard thank you for video

[@AmandaSparkle]

Hello again, Richard! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Hopefully there were cameras at the location(s) where they used your card! That way there's a chance that the police can identify, locate, and arrest the a$$hat that stole from you! Hope your bank at least gives you back what they fraudulently withdrew! Glad you were able to pull some honey! Sending love and support across the miles! 😊

[@marekbily8677]

I harvested 270 kg from 15 colonies last weekend.

[@DenbeeHoney]

Great video… thx Richard

[@MieleLocale]

When they have your personal documents, they can withdraw a loan from a bank for quick loans. I hope that doesn't happen because then you will have to pay every month what they stole from you. Naturally, you will have the police report with the date and time as proof, but it is really a big additional problem. Good luck with the harvest and I hope this doesn't happen again.

[@richardnoel3141]

It sure is but it’s seemingly every year is unique but in a bad way lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@geraltofrivia8529]

No longer a high trust society.

[@nancynolton6079]

Yeah the hoops you have to jump through because someone cannot bother to get a real job. Some lessons learned just like the beeyard. So sorry for your "adventure".

[@lindagray5857]

You feel violated. That is the lowest to steel from you.

[@barryduke8329]

Hi, so sorry you got your wallet nicked. Glad you managed to get your cards blocked quickly. As for the honey harvest, very similar story here on the Isle of Wight. I am still feeding some colonies. Hopefully we will have a great summer harvest.

[@paulfairbrass4424]

Sadly every big city has it's thieves. Were a couple of weeks behind were we are, but people near the rape have had to get there's extracted quickly as well because of crystallisation.

[@kathyhathaway8823]

Sorry to hear that. There are A H everywhere. When will you main flow start . Ya with as big of a colony is you have there it doesn’t take long for them to clear a super out . Thanks

[@toddknecht2106]

Shitty situation with the scumbags that stole from you! So frustrating! They all need to spend their best part I jail!!!!

[@edbutler6899]

Hi Richard, quick question for you, with regards wax, would you recommend a MelliFlow or your Karl Fritz wax melter?, thanks Ed

[@edbutler6899]

So sorry Richard, only hearing your bad news now, used to work in a bank and unfortunately this happens everyday of the week to people, from my time in the bank of the machine was compromised then you should get the money back, if it wasn’t and they used your card and pin then it’ll be more complicated, hopefully though you’ll get it back as that’s a nice chunk of change for anyone

[@sinisterhipp0]

Your mistake was trying to enjoy yourself. 😣

[@HappyBees]

I had my identity stolen and it trashed my life for 6 years 😢

[@caven930]

Crystalize?? Why would it crystalize so fast

[@richardnoel3141]

All honey’s crystallise, spring honey most canola will crystallise within 2 weeks

[@caven930]

Oh okay I see

[@beverlysteen]

Sorry to hear another good person being taken advantage of. You feel so violated when this happens and while able to forgive you will never forget. SMH. Freeze your credit so they cannot open up any loans in your name.

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks, yes cards all replaced but just lots of extra work etc. The paperwork to replace the lost ID cards is enormous thanks for your comments

[@danphillips4590]

Criminals......these crimes wont get prosecuted in US.

[@richardnoel3141]

Probably not here either, they just don’t have the resources and the manpower

[@pomicultorul]

I am so sorry for your financial loss and for the stress associated with this ugly episode.

[@angelamitchell7531]

I know exactly how you feel, I was scammed recently out of just over €1000.00 money that I had saved to help my daughter save for a deposit 😢

[@richardnoel3141]

Oh man it really sucks, sorry to hear that ! Karma does exist and these people will eventually fall in to the trap they create! Rest assured! It’s just the game of life!! Just remember your the good person here, way better than any of those low down pond life types!! 😎🫶💪🏻
