First warm day of the year and the bees are out in force collecting water. They need a good amount of water in spring to dilute some of their stores, to aid in digestion/metabolisation of their food, and to feed the developing larvae .

A larvae diet can consist of up to 80 percent water during the first day of growth and about 55 percent on the sixth day.

Water, such a precious gift for all creatures, use wisely.

Extremely happy to be able to donate over 90 jars of honey to the great initiative by @chef_lewis_sully to give hampers to the staff at Whipps Cross ICU. This small gesture will hopefully give them something to relax with during these most difficult of times. Thank you @chef_lewis_sully for arranging.

For those that have never tried honey comb before, our local chunk honey is a great start. The comb is exactly as made by the bees and simply cut and placed into a jar of our raw honey. The best of both worlds and a lovely treat for yourself or a loved one.

Our soft set honey is cold extracted, unpasteurised and coarsely filtered to ensure all the goodness of our raw honey remains.

It is a true artisan product and requires stirring a few times each day for a week or two to ensure it sets evenly and with a fine, smooth, buttery texture. It is made using a cold method utilising the cooler autumn/spring days to retain all the goodness of this luxurious raw local product.

Needs to be tried to be appreciated especially if you have never tried soft set before. Its one of our favorites but in limited supply. ... See more

Coldest day so far but bees doing fine. Even though its freezing outside the bees are happy and warm. Preparation of hives for winter starts in late summer by ensuring the bees are healthy, have enough honey and have the numbers to take then through winter. Thankfully this colony is looking good.... Be a pleasure to see them flying again in the spring...

We are starting 2021 by filling up some jars with our lovely local honey collected by our locally reared honey bees during the summer period. The bees are currently enjoying a much-needed rest and living off the honey they have collected last year.

The honey we jar is the excess they have produced, a lovely taste of summer during these cold winter days. As always the honey is pure, raw, unprocessed and coarsely strained to retain all the goodness as nature intended.
