Local spring honey available from our hives in Blyth and Morpeth!
The spring honey this year is soft set honey.
It’s thick, creamy and tastes of sunshine.
Why soft set?
This is because the local farmers fields of oil seed r**e have been successful this year (the yellow fields).
OSR (oil seed r**e) has a very high glucose to fructose ratio. Honey is naturally super saturated in sugars, when the glucose ratio is high this causes the honey to crystallise really fast creating a very hard honey.
It’s a royal pain!
To combat this crystallisation we cream the honey breaking down these larger sugar molecules to create a thick smooth honey.
Perfect on toast, in a cuppa etc etc
We heard you wanted options on jar sizes too, so we’ve obliged.
Large jars (340g) are £9
Small jars (160g) are £6

Where can you get our honey?
-Laverock Hall Farm & Bird Food
-L of a Bake
-Whitehouse Farm
-Or myself at 9 Oberon way. A quick note if you do come to myself directly. Please do message first and please do not come to my home with a cold or a cough or any type of snivel! We are a medically complex home and the snivels to you could result in a hospital stay for my child. I am happy to deliver at a safe distance if this is your only option.

Cheers folks! I hope you enjoy!!!

I’m still in the danger zone, quite a lot of queens have failed to return from mating flights so far this year.
But this one has!
And what a beauty!!

Bees in the boot and driving cautiously home.
These will be relocated tomorrow in our swarm apiary so they can be health checked.
If you do get a swarm in your garden please don’t panic. Simply stay back or go indoors and shut windows. Then give myself or any other beekeeper a call. We can all be found at the link below.
We will collect completely FREE of charge!
I’ll reiterate we DO NOT charge for this service.
It’s fun for us!

Please feel free to message me first though 😃😉

Seems to have been a swarm type day..
3 swarm calls. 2 flew off before or as I arrived. The third is in the box (pics below).
Nothing makes you a better driver than 20 odd thousand bees in the boot…

Happy world bee day!
Today I spent a hour talking to the next generation in a local (ish) school. Then the afternoon was spent beekeeping, helping a few friends with their hives and doing physio (myself and Roo).
It’s been busy
