Our honey is now available.

We’ve just delivered a fresh batch of this season’s honey to Red Barn Farm Shop, and we’re pleased to see it on their shelves again.

If you’re looking for natural, local produce, it’s well worth a visit. Kathryn and Sarah have created a welcoming shop that genuinely supports local producers and offers a carefully selected range of quality goods.

We’re proud to be a small part of it and grateful for their continued support.

Pop in when you get a chance and have a look around. This year’s crop is limited, so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Hi everyone! We just wanted to apologise for the recent silence on our page. We’ve been away on holiday and, since returning, have been busy harvesting our honey and getting it all jarred up.

We’re now at the final stage — labelling the jars — so not long to go! 🍯

Unfortunately, due to a very low crop this year, we’ll only have a limited number of jars available for sale. Thank you for your patience and continued support — it really means a lot to us!

Personally, I find it much harder to spot the queen in a photo than when looking at the frame live.

So to prove it, here is a short reel with the queen on the frame. Can you find her on video?

Can you find the queen?

She is in there somewhere, moving calmly across the frame while the rest of the colony carries on with their work. Always a good reminder how easy it is to miss her, even when you know what you are looking for.

Heartbreaking. A fire deliberately started at a local bee keeper in Yorkshire (Birstall Bee Man) has destroyed beehives, killed colonies of bees and caused thousands of pounds worth of damage.

Years of work gone in moments, with next year’s honey production now badly affected. Let’s hope those responsible are found. 🐝💔

Two Carpathian queens successfully introduced, purchased from Beckys beezzzs ltd
https://www.beckysbeesonlineshop.co.uk/

This video shows the introduction process and how both queens were accepted into their new colonies.
After one week, both are doing very well. One of the queens can be seen moving calmly across the frame, fully comfortable and settled with the bees.
Good start and looking strong.
