Honey Update!! 🍯 🍯 🐝

For the first time since I started beekeeping I have 3 different types of honey jarred up.

In the picture, from left to right, there is Spring Blossom (set) honey, Summer Blossom (runny) honey and the new kid on the block Summer Ling Heather honey.

The Heather honey is a surprise (it won’t be “pure” heather I would suspect, more a mix but dominated by Heather nectar) and thixotropic in consistency.

Amazing this all came from the same hives in the same location over a 3-4month period.

🍯 🍯 Honey update!! 🐝🐝

Now taking orders for SUMMER 2025 honey! 🍯

Same price as last year, 3 x 1lb (454g) jars for £24 and any additional jars at £7/jar.

1 jar = £9
2 jars = £17
3 jars = £24

4 jars = £31
5 jars = £38
6 jars = £45 etc

N.B. Since this is a summer batch, the honey will not granulate and set in the jar too quickly, it will remain runny for a lot longer than a spring batch would. However, over time it will naturally set, it can be loosened again to make it runny by gently warming the jar.

Please send me a PM with your order and we can arrange payment / delivery / collection.

Bee update!! 🐝 🐝

That’s the clearer boards on the hives, ready for some honey extraction this weekend!! 🍯

A lot of honey incoming. Which is sweet. Quite late in the season, latest I’ve ever extracted summer honey. 😬

Today it made me realise that I’m struggling to dedicate the time needed to look after the bees properly, they are rammed full of honey - in fact overflowing which means I haven’t given them enough space. That’s because I haven’t got spare supers ready, but even if I did, weekdays & nights and weekends are still too busy these days to get there to take action . . .

So . . . .

This might be the last year of beekeeping for the foreseeable for me, if it’s not, next year will definitely be downsized. Let’s see what happens over winter. Let’s see if I get the fire back. 😔

I’ll give you all a shout when the jars are ready.
