Harry Owens hopes spring's weather means bees will make more honey in 2026
A beekeeper hopes this year's spring will give the Island's honey producers chance to catch up after a "pretty grim" 2025.
Harry Owens says challenging conditions last year meant the bees were left with little pollen to collect.
The chair of the Isle of Man Beekeepers has worked with the Isle of Man Government since the 1970s to keep Manx bees free from diseases such as Varroa.
After a difficult year, Mr Owens is feeling more optimistic:
Police working to 'understand full circumstances' around prisoner's death
Peel hotel applies to become HMO instead
Afternoon Liverpool sailings cancelled
New MHKs need to learn to balance constituency and national issues
