We’ve started mapping out the boundaries of our dream apiary.

We just need to finish mowing the middle, move the hives that are currently outside the boundary, and then start building up our hives!

We’re going to line the perimeter with flower beds and fill them with pollinator-friendly plants to screen the hives from the wind and curious passers-by (with 2 legs, 4, or many more!)

Spring is here and the property is coming alive! Can’t wait to see what the bees love the most. #

We've just finished extracting, straining and jarring up the honey from this season.

Our honey is unfiltered and unpasteurised. We keep things cool to preserve nutrition.

Do you know how much honey you need to leave for your bees, if any? Do you ever need to supplement their diet?

Sharing for awareness. The Asian hornet is an invasive species in the UK and is causing devastation to honeybee populations across Europe. Check the NBU website for information on how to identify and report sightings.

Do not attempt to deal with them yourself if you do come across them, they can be quite nasty.

Today in our series on responsible beekeeping we'll be looking at hive inspections.

A responsible beekeeper will regularly check their hives to make sure everything is as it should be. We check ours weekly during Spring and Summer.

Over the next few weeks we'll be looking at responsible beekeeping.

What is it? How can you achieve it?

Today we'll start off with respecting and understanding your bees. Basically, take care not to hurt or harm them and do your research so you know what you're doing!

Swipe to see the information we've put together on this and some good places to start for all that research you'll be doing.
