Our bees are local, and our honey is bottled here too 🍯

The bees forage on flowers in Wirral gardens, parks and hedgerows, so what’s in the jar comes from the same patch of the world you live in. It might even be from your own back garden.

So buying a jar supports a local business, and it supports the local wildlife too. Local bees, local flowers, local honey.

Checking on the bees is one of my favourite things to do 🐝

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve done it, lifting the lid and seeing them get on with it still makes me smile. It’s calm and busy at the same time.

Every pumpkin you carve this weekend needed a bee first.🎃

Pumpkin plants have separate male and female flowers, and the pollen is too big and sticky to blow around on the wind. A bee has to carry it from one flower to the other. The flowers are only open for a few hours in the morning, so the bees have a short window to get it done - how cool is that?

So if you’re carving one this weekend, it probably had a bee to thank. 🐝😍

Comments like this are what keep us going 💛

We love hearing what you think of our honey. We and our bees work so hard for it, so it means a lot when you take the time to tell us.

Thank you, truly.

Keep an eye on our page in the next few days to find out where you can find us in November - or find our honey at one of our local stockists here:

Swapping liquid feed for fondant 🐝

This is what the bees get if their honey stores run low in the cold months. It’s a soft sugar block that goes on top of the frames, so they can eat it without leaving the cluster.

We always leave them honey first. This is just the back-up, so they’ve got something to fall back on if winter drags on.

A snap of me in action, out checking the hives this week, making sure each colony has enough stores to get through winter 🐝

We always leave honey for the bees. It’s their food for the cold months, so we only take what’s spare. If a hive is light, we’ll top it up so they’re not going into winter short.

Not long now until they cluster up for the winter. Where has this year gone?!

Honey extraction day 🍯

The frames come out of the hive full of capped honey. We slice off the wax cappings, then spin the frames in the extractor and the honey flies out of the comb. After that it gets filtered and left to settle before it goes into jars.

It’s sticky, it’s slow, and the whole kitchen smells amazing.

Have you ever seen honey being extracted?
