🐝🌳 UPDATE FROM COLSTERWORTH HONEY FARM! 🌳🐝

Phew! What a lucky escape for our bees! 🍀🐝

The debris around the hives has now been cleared, and one of our hives has been rehoused in a lovely fresh home after suffering some damage.

Most importantly, the bees have all been checked and everyone is doing well! ❤️🐝

We’re now ready to move the hives safely out of the way so the fallen tree can be cut up and removed.

A bit more excitement than we’d like at this time of year, but thankfully a happy ending for our little buzzing friends!

🐝 Lucky, lucky hives indeed! 🍀💛

🍯🦪 FRIDAY TREAT ALERT! 🦪🍯

Did you know it’s National Scallops Day today? And if you’re looking for a little Friday foodie inspiration… we’ve got a rather delicious idea for you! 😋

✨ Honey-glazed scallops ✨

Our local honey makes the perfect partner for beautifully caramelised scallops — sweet, savoury, buttery and just a little bit fancy!

And of course, if you’re using honey, why not use local honey from Colsterworth Honey Farm🐝🍯 we have you covered for last minute purchases !

Who’s tempted? 👀

Maybe an idea for the menu The Cholmeley Arms Iain Henderson !

🐝 OK, pubs, restaurants, cafés & hotels… this one’s for you! 🍯

Today, The Cholmeley Arms in

Burton Coggles ordered some more of our honey in our catering-size tubs…

And it got me thinking… 🤔

Who else is getting through honey by the bucket load?! 😂

If you’re serving breakfasts, desserts, cheese boards, cocktails, hot drinks or anything else that benefits from a good drizzle of proper local honey, why not make it Colsterworth Honey Farm honey? 🐝🍯

It’s produced by our own bees, right here in Lincolnshire — and we can supply catering-size tubs for businesses that need more than the jar on the kitchen table!

So if you’re a pub, restaurant, café, hotel, farm shop or catering business, drop us a message.

📩 Want to know prices, sizes or how we can supply you? Just ask!

And if you know a business that should be serving our honey… tag them below! 👇

Because let’s be honest…
There’s always room for a little more honey. 🍯😉

🐝 The hedgerows are alive with the sound of bees working! 🌿

At the moment, our bees are making the most of the ivy, collecting both nectar and pollen from those beautiful little ivy flowers.

Ivy is pretty much the last major source of nectar and pollen for the bees before winter, so they are certainly making the most of it!

The honey produced from ivy is quite distinctive. It has a strong aroma and flavour which, if we’re honest, isn’t particularly pleasant to us! 😂 Although there are some people who absolutely love it.

We don’t harvest the ivy honey from our hives.

The reason? Ivy honey granulates very quickly and becomes extremely hard. This can make it difficult for the bees to break it down and use as food over the winter.

So, while they are busy filling the hives with their winter stores, we also need to make sure they have food they can use easily — which means feeding them on top to help dilute those hard ivy stores.

It’s all part of making sure our colonies go into winter happy, healthy and well prepared. 🐝❤️

The beekeeping year might be winding down, but our bees certainly haven’t got the memo! 😄

🐝 Monster hives! 🐝

We do aim to have large, populous hives — after all, a strong colony is what we want. 💪🐝

But there is a downside… getting these monster hives ready for winter can be quite a challenge! 😅

Lots of bees means lots to think about as we prepare them for the colder months ahead. ❄️🍯

🐝🌼 The bees are still bringing in the pollen! 🌼🐝

Even as we head towards autumn, our busy girls are still out and about collecting pollen. 💛

But did you know… a honey bee will usually collect just one type of pollen on each foraging trip? 🐝

That means when you see those little pollen baskets packed with a beautiful orange colour, they’ve most likely been visiting the same type of flower on that trip. 🌸🧡

It’s incredible to think about how organised these tiny creatures are — every trip has a purpose!

And just look at that gorgeous orange pollen… nature really does provide the most beautiful colours. 🧡
