🎄🐝 NOW THAT’S A LOT OF CHRISTMAS CANDLES! 🐝🎄

Last night was a VERY busy night here at Beesby Sunflower Patch! 🌻

Just look at this HUGE order of our Farmhouse Christmas candles all handmade, poured, wicked, labelled and packed, ready for their new homes! 🥹❤️

From rows and rows of empty tins to a box full of finished candles… there’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing it all come together!

What makes these even more special? 🐝

Our candles are made using locally sourced, natural beeswax from our beekeeping neighbours, just over the hedge from our sunflower patch here in Lincolnshire. 💛

What started as a little idea to diversify our family farm is growing into something we are incredibly proud of.

🐝 Supporting local beekeepers
🌻 Making use of natural, locally sourced ingredients
🤍 Handmade in small batches, right here in Lincolnshire

And every single order, whether it’s one candle or forty, means so much to our little business.

A HUGE thank you for keeping us so busy. We really are so grateful! 🥰

Now… time to get the next batch underway! 😅🐝

🐝🌻 A LITTLE BIT OF NATURE IN EVERY MELT! 🌻🐝

Have you ever noticed the tiny dark specks or slight colour variations in our beeswax products? Well, there’s a lovely reason for that! 🥰

Here at Beesby Sunflower Patch, we’re incredibly proud of what goes into our handmade candles and wax melts.

🐝 LOCALLY SOURCED – Our beeswax comes from bees just over the hedge from our family farm here in Beesby, Lincolnshire. You really can’t get much more local than that!

🌿 MINIMALLY PROCESSED – We love our beeswax just as nature intended! Rather than using heavily refined, bleached or artificially whitened wax, we embrace its natural colour, character and imperfections.

🌻 SUSTAINABILITY AT HEART – By sourcing locally, supporting neighbouring beekeepers and making our products in small batches, we’re helping to keep our little business connected to the land and community around us.

🐝 PERFECTLY IMPERFECT – Those little dark flecks? They can be tiny traces of propolis, pollen or other natural hive materials. The colour might vary between batches too, depending on the wax itself.

And do you know what? We LOVE that! ❤️

We’re not trying to create a mass-produced, perfectly uniform product. We’re creating something that tells a story.
A story of local bees, local agriculture, a family farm and a little diversification project that continues to grow. 🚜🌻

Every candle and wax melt is handmade with care, using locally sourced beeswax, and we’re rather proud of those little imperfections.

Less processing. More natural character. Proudly Lincolnshire. 🐝💛

🎃🐮 A LITTLE BIT OF AUTUMN FUN! 🐮🎃

Well… I couldn’t resist! 😍😂

With Huttoft Sustainability Fair coming up this weekend, I’ve been having a little fun with our beeswax creations!

Introducing our rather adorable Halloween Highland Cow (complete with witch’s hat!) 🧙‍♀️🐮 and some gorgeous little pumpkins! 🎃

Handmade here in Lincolnshire using natural, locally sourced beeswax from our lovely neighbours’ bees! 🐝💛

I absolutely LOVE how these have turned out. The detail on that little cow! 🥹

🌻 A little bit of creativity, a little bit of farming diversification and a whole lot of autumnal cuteness!

Come and see us at Huttoft Sustainability Fair this Sunday. We’ll have our usual Beesby Sunflower Patch goodies alongside a few seasonal surprises!

🐝 Local beeswax
🌻 Small-batch handmade products
🚜 Supporting British farming and local businesses

Now, the important question… are you team Highland Cow 🐮 or team Pumpkin 🎃?

Come to us for delicious local Beebsy Honey… 🍯 🤤

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HrCFnSRm/?mibextid=wwXIfr

National Honey Day is almost here! 🍯🐝

On 21st October, we’re celebrating the golden goodness of local British honey and this year’s message is simple: Buy Local Honey.

Here’s our challenge to you: in the run-up to the big day, seek out a jar of honey from a beekeeper near you.

Not sure where to look? The BBKA honey map will help you find local honey near you: https://buff.ly/SiTSHCb

Taste it, savour it and tell us all about it.

Where did you find it? How does it taste? We’d love to know. 👇

🌻🐝 A little bit of science, a little bit of farming, and a whole lot of nature! 🔬💛

If you know me, you’ll know I absolutely LOVE science. And one of my favourite things about our little farm diversification project is just how much science is involved in everything we do!

Just look at these two beauties, photographed amongst the lavender this evening. 💜

🐝 Let’s talk beeswax!

Did you know that honeybees produce beeswax from special glands on their abdomens? The bees use this wax to construct their incredible hexagonal honeycomb cells.

And here’s the clever bit... hexagons are incredibly efficient! They allow bees to create strong structures with very little wasted space or wax. Nature really is a remarkable engineer!

🌻 Now for our sunflower oil!

Sunflowers are rather clever too. Through photosynthesis, they convert light energy into chemical energy, producing sugars that can ultimately contribute to the production of oils within their seeds.

And that’s where our two products come together...

🕯️ Our Farmhouse Christmas Candle, made using locally sourced beeswax from bees just over the hedge.
🪵 Our Wood & Leather Balm, combining that same local beeswax with sunflower oil grown right here on our own farm!

The beeswax helps create a protective, water-resistant barrier, whilst the oils help condition and nourish the surface.

Two very different products, but both rooted in agriculture, chemistry and the incredible natural world around us.

And THAT is why I love what we’re doing. We’re not just making products. We’re finding new ways to use what the countryside provides, supporting local producers and showing how science and farming go hand in hand.
From our Lincolnshire fields (and our neighbours’ bees!) to your home. 🐝🌻

🌻🐝 NEW PRODUCT NUMBER TWO… AND DARE I SAY, THIS ONE IS EVEN MORE EXCITING THAN HIGHLAND COWS?! 🥹😍

I genuinely cannot tell you how excited I am about this one!
Because for the FIRST TIME, we’ve created something that combines not only our gorgeous locally sourced beeswax, from just over the hedge… but OUR VERY OWN BEESBY SUNFLOWER OIL! 🌻🐝🚜

Introducing our BEESBY SUNFLOWER PATCH WOOD & LEATHER BALM! 🤎 - £8 for a 4oz tin.

And just LOOK at these before and after photos! 😍

🌻 Made using sunflower oil grown right here on our family farm.
🐝 Natural beeswax from our lovely neighbouring bees.
🥥 A little coconut oil to complete the blend!

🪵 So what does it do?

This is NOT a wood stain! It’s a nourishing, protective balm designed to condition wood and leather, help repel moisture and bring out their beautiful natural character.
Just look at that chopping board and those well-loved boots! 🤎 The difference is incredible!

It really is farm diversification in a little tin! 🥹

From growing sunflowers in our Lincolnshire fields to creating something practical that can be used around your home… this is exactly why I LOVE what we’re doing!

🌻 Grown locally. Made locally. Naturally Beesby. 🐝

💌 Message us for orders and enquiries!

Always patch test first. The balm may darken surfaces. Check suitability before using on food-contact surfaces.

🌻🐝 IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND… 😂🙈

Yesterday, whilst we were at Alford Corn Exchange, someone asked me, “Do you have *?”

Well… no, I didn’t.

BUT I DO NOW! 🤣🤣

Because apparently I can’t just say “No, sorry, we don’t sell those!” and leave it at that. Oh no… my brain immediately goes into overdrive thinking, “Well, why don’t we?!” 😅🐝

So, naturally, we’ve been busy little bees AGAIN! 🐝🌻

And tonight, we’re VERY excited to be launching…

🎉 TWO BRAND NEW PRODUCTS! 🎉

Both inspired by our beautiful Lincolnshire countryside, our family farm and our passion for diversification! 🚜💛

We’re always looking for new ways to make the most of what we have right on our doorstep (or just over the hedge! 😉🐝).

⏰ THE BIG REVEAL — 8PM TONIGHT!

But before we let the cat out of the bag…

🤔 ANY GUESSES WHAT WE’VE BEEN MAKING?!

Pop your guesses in the comments below! 👇 We would LOVE to see what you come up with!

🤫 And if you’re one of the lucky few who already knows… SHHHHH! 🤐😂 No giving the game away!

See you at 8pm! 🥰

🌌💜 Taking a little break from candles tonight… and heading back into the SCIENCE classroom! 🔬✨

Now, anyone who knows me knows I absolutely LOVE science, especially anything to do with space! 🚀🌍

Tonight, my phone pinged with a notification from AuroraWatch UK, warning of geomagnetic disturbance levels of 650+!! 😱

Now, to put that into perspective, readings above 250 on the AuroraWatch scale can indicate a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights across parts of the UK, particularly on a clear, dark night.

So, 650?! You can bet I was heading outside to investigate! 😂

And WOW… Mother Nature, you did NOT disappoint! 💚💜
Just LOOK at those colours over the Lincolnshire countryside tonight!

🔬 Now for the science bit… (Sorry, I can’t help myself! 👩‍🏫)
☀️ The Sun releases streams of charged particles, known as the solar wind. When these interact with Earth’s magnetic field, they can trigger geomagnetic storms.

🌍 Some of these energetic particles travel into our upper atmosphere, where they collide with gases and excite their atoms and molecules.

💚 GREEN – Produced mainly by oxygen atoms, typically around 100–150 km above the Earth.

💜 PURPLE/PINK – Often associated with nitrogen molecules and ions, creating those beautiful pink and purple shades in the sky.

And the result? One of the most spectacular natural light shows our planet has to offer! 🌌

The disturbance levels are starting to drop again now, but goodness me, what an incredible sight!

I spend my days teaching young people about the wonders of science, but evenings like this remind me exactly why I fell in love with it myself.

Science isn’t just something we learn in a classroom. It’s happening all around us, every single day. Sometimes, all we need to do is look up. 💚

I LOVE science. I LOVE space. And I absolutely LOVE our beautiful planet! 🌍✨

Did anyone else manage to catch the Northern Lights tonight?
