Preparations for the end of the beekeeping year..

29/08/2026

Even with the late-summer warmth (and rain!) across North Warwickshire, the rhythm of the apiary is shifting.

While extraction is underway behind the scenes, our primary focus is helping our bees prepare for the colder months ahead. We are actively assessing brood patterns to ensure queens are laying strong winter bees, uniting smaller colonies to build resilience, treating for varroa, and confirming every hive has abundant stores for winter.

Caring for our colonies comes first, but the rewards of their hard work are ready now. Fresh 340g jars of our summer signature runny honey are available today. Because our seasonal yields are small and meticulously crafted, stocks move quickly.

📍 How to purchase: Pop by our cashless honesty box at Willows Farm Warton, message us directly for local village delivery, or visit our local stockists at Warton Village Shop and MJ Smith Butchers in Polesworth. Also available at Tori and Bens Farm Shop, Melbourne, Derby.

Look closely—they are actually 'marching' right into their new home. 👑🐝

When a local colony decides it’s time to expand, they swarm. It can look a bit chaotic, but it’s actually a highly organised family looking for a new rooftop. We safely collected this local swarm last week and guided them into a fresh hive box.
Watching them march in unison like this is one of those quiet, beautiful moments that reminds us why we practice traditional beekeeping. They have settled in beautifully, and with plenty of midsummer sunshine, they’ll be building up their strength to contribute to our September harvest.
Our Spring jars may be gone, but the cycle never stops. Make sure you’re on our waitlist to follow their journey from swarm to jar for the late summer drop. Comment ‘Summer’

So much work goes into set honey but it’s worth it. My personal favourite 🤩

What a week it has been in Warton! 🍯✨
Over the last seven days, we’ve been busy delivering and hosting doorstep collections for our highly anticipated Spring harvest. Because nature only gave us a tiny window this season, we had to strictly limit it to just one jar per person on the waitlist to make sure as many neighbours as possible got a taste.
The feedback from the village so far has absolutely blown us away—thank you all for your beautiful messages and support for our tiny apiary.
Our own Warton Spring supply is now completely gone, and our first limited batch of Guest Honey has completely sold out too! If you missed out, don't worry—we are already on the hunt for our next exceptional guest apiary batches, dropping in the next couple of weeks.
Comment ‘summer’Tap to get your name on the Summer Reserve list so you’re first in line when the next jars arrive.

Bumble bees are brilliant pollinators ❤️🐝

Doesn’t always go to plan!

Caught in the act! 🐝😲

Nature is a powerful force. Despite carrying out swarm control measures recently, this colony at Warton Honey decided it was time for a change of scenery.

Why do they swarm?
It’s actually a sign of success! When a colony becomes too crowded and healthy, the 'old' Queen leaves with about half the bees to find a new home, leaving the rest to raise a new Queen. It’s simply nature’s way of multiplying and ensuring the species survives. 🗺️✨

As you can see, they eventually settled in a nearby hedge, where we were able to safely recover them into a 'nuc' box. They are now settled, safe, and being monitored.

Have you ever seen a swarm in person? What did you think?

Remember: If you see a swarm in Warton, don't panic! Just keep a safe distance and call us or the BBKA (British Beekeepers Association) to help relocate them safely.

🍯 Spring List Update: Our Spring Priority List is now closed.

📈 September Harvest: Our Summer Waitlist is now OPEN! Comment 'SUMMER' to secure your spot for the next batch.

Always on the look out for wax moth which can destroy the hive, queen cells are the swarm sign!
