Been very busy making up new nucs (small hives that all have a new Queen Bee) Thirty new hives that will be introduced to our apiaries to help us keep up with demand for our fabulous honey 🐝🐝🐝 #honeybees #beefarmer #foodfromnature

Been busy checking bees to ensure they are getting through winter ok. Pleased to report they are doing well. Woodpeckers tried to get into hives but wire has thankfully stopped them. It’s muddy out there, ground is water logged,so much so we got stuck!! 🐝🐝🐝

Spent today checking all our apiaries after the strong winds we have had. Pleased to report all are well -just the odd branch having to be removed 🍂🍁 Wonderful to see the snow drops making an appearance - the bees will love to forage on these once it warms up 🐝🐝🐝#honeybees

Despite the difficult time we are are all living through, we are still able to care for our bees thankfully. They were all really busy over Easter weekend. They are steadily building up ready for the season ahead 🐝🐝🐝#saveourbees #honeybees #foodfromnature

Spring is springing all around us - Happy 1st March. It’s that time of year when thoughts turn to our gardens. Over the next few weeks we will give you ideas on how to attract bees and other pollinators to your garden Together we can all make a difference 🐝🐞🦋🌺🌻🌸🌼

It is so tempting but please try to resist and help our pollinators #saveourbees #honeybees #pollinators

Interesting article on a subject very close to our hearts.Our honey is as pure as can be. Filtered only once to remove any wax.All natural goodness remains. We are so proud of our product and our beautiful bees. Disgraceful that tampered honey can be called honey at all 🐝🐝🐝

We absolutely love this fabulous bee water station created by a very talented young lady - using a terracotta plant pot and dish. What a creative idea to attract bees to your garden and brighten up your outdoor space too - well done 🐝🐝🐝 #saveourbees

It’s been a hectic few weeks. We have been regularly checking the bees, jarring honey, preparing orders and claeaning, repairing equipment. Hopefully warmer weather is here for a time - the bees are longing to get out to forage 🐝🌸🐝🌺🐝🌼 #honeybees #saveourbees #apiarist
