OUR
PROMISE

Since 2015 we have been lovingly producing honey from our local hives in Hampshire & Dorset. Our honey is completely untreated and unpasteurised which helps preserve all the natural vitamins and enzymes. No additives or preservative - just completely pure.

Our British honey comes directly from our beautiful honeybees, ethically made, and then jarred by us. That's it.

All purchases help protect and save the vulnerable bee population in the UK. So, you know when you're tucking into your jar of honey, you're doing your bit to save the planet.

PLEASE LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!

If you’re trying to order honey and having problems on the website, it’s because we’ve virtually run out!! The website is up to date but we literally only have a few jars left. We’re patiently waiting for the hives to build up before we can hopefully harvest the fresh honey. The hives are building up very nicely so far, so hopefully won’t be too long.

If you don’t normally order through the website, please check with us before you pay, so we can tell you what is in stock.

Thanks for your patience! 🐝🍯🐝

SWARM ALERT – Ringwood, Ferndown & Burley Areas 🐝

Swarm season is nearly here! If you spot a cluster of bees hanging in a tree, hedge, or building:

📞 Call Ian on 07803 136730

Swarming is a natural behaviour — bees are simply looking for a new home. They’re usually very calm, but they do need to be safely rehomed to survive.

Please don’t spray or disturb them — give us a call instead!

🍯 As many of you already know, sustainable beekeeping is not a cheap “hobby”! One of the reasons we’re able to keep our prices lower than many other beekeepers is because we have so many regular customers recycling their honey jars for us!

🍯 Thanks to today’s customers alone, we got 12 jars back. This means we can sterilise the jars and reuse them, saving the cost of buying new jars. We do buy new lids because the seals could be contaminated, but it’s a much cheaper option for us than having to buy the jar and the lid and, of course, it’s so much better for the environment too.

🍯 If you purchased your honey from @bakehouse24 and @thenoisylobster you can also take your empty jars back to them and we will collect.

🐝 We hope you’ve had a great weekend and had time to get into the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine! Our bees are certainly enjoying the warmth and are building up very fast. They’ve got lots in the garden to keep them happy; fruit trees are starting to flower (fingers crossed, no more frosts please!) and we have been busy germinating sweet peas and sunflowers.

🍯 On Saturday 5th April we’ll be at the Allendale Spring Craft Fayre in Wimborne from 10am - 4pm. Please also support the Seed Swap at Trinity Church in Ringwood where you’ll be able to get your hands on some of our sunflower seeds.

🌼 As our events start to build up and our Bee Experience days restart, we become very busy again. Do remember that you can still order via our website and our honey is also available at various locations:

Invasive Asian Hornet Threatens European Ecosystems 🚨

A recent report from The Guardian highlights the alarming impact of Asian hornets across Europe. These invasive predators are consuming hundreds of insect species, including essential pollinators like bees, posing a serious threat to biodiversity and food security 🐝⚠️

With populations expanding, it is crucial for beekeepers, conservationists, and the public to stay informed and report sightings to prevent further ecological damage.

Get Ready for a Buzzing Summer Garden! 🐝🌱

Looking to make your garden a paradise for bees this summer? February is the perfect time to start planting seeds that will blossom into bee-friendly havens by June and July. Here’s what you can plant now for a vibrant garden to attract butterflies and bees:

1. Sunflowers - Start sunflower seeds indoors in February to transplant after the last frost. They are loved by bees for their plentiful pollen and nectar.

2. Lavender - Essential for any bee-friendly garden, start these fragrant herbs indoors.

3. Cosmos - Simple to grow and absolutely stunning, perfect for bees and novice gardeners.

4. Zinnias - Start zinnia seeds indoors in February for transplanting later. Zinnias are excellent for attracting bees and butterflies with their bright, nectar-rich flowers.

5. Echinacea - Echinacea can be sown directly into the ground in some milder climates or started indoors. It’s a perennial that bees adore.

6. Borage - You can start borage indoors and move it outside as the weather warms. It continually produces nectar-rich flowers through the summer.

7. Foxglove - Tall and striking, these flowers are a magnet for bees (remember to handle with care due to toxicity).

8. Black-eyed Susan - Robust and radiant, attracting pollinators all season long.

When starting seeds in February, make sure to provide them with enough light and warmth to sprout, as these conditions are crucial for germination. As the weather warms, harden off your plants by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions before fully transplanting them 🌿

Which of these are you planning to plant? All our jars of honey come with a sachet of sunflower seeds free of charge, which we would love you to plant for the bees to enjoy. All you need is a yoghurt pot and some soil. Make a well with your finger about 2 cm down, drop the seed in, give a little amount of water and within a couple of weeks, you should start to see a shoot appearing! 🌼🍯

🍯 Bestseller this week has been our beautiful Ferndown honey. A delicious, multi-floral, runny honey and a winner for all of us with a sweet tooth.

🐝 Did you know that the texture, colour and taste of honey changes depending on the season? The bees are desperately searching for anything that’s in bloom right now, so that’s flowers like crocuses, snowdrops, gorse and hellebores. The hives are building up after the cold winter months.

🍯 The crunch months are March and April when the Queen is laying a lot, the hives are getting bigger but there might not be many plants in bloom still. This is when beekeepers might have to feed the bees artificially with a special fondant. Once we’re over these months, then we know we’re over the worst.

🐝 Summer hopefully signals a strong, healthy hive and an abundance of flowers. We are lucky to have the New Forest on our doorstep which means the bees feed off the bell and ling heather.

🍯 One thing we have no control over is what the farmers plant! Sometimes they plant rape which the bees love, but we don’t because it creates a slight bitterness to the honey.

❤️ If you have fallen in love with our honey and are looking for a certain consistency or flavour, then let us know. We can trace every jar back to the exact batch it came from,the exact hive and date it was harvested.

Winter Tasks for Beekeepers 🐝

During the winter when our bees are huddled in their hives for warmth, we beekeepers are busy with crucial tasks to ensure a successful spring. Here’s just a few things that we are up to during these colder months:

🔨 Frame Maintenance - Winter is the perfect time for us to clean up and repair old frames. We carefully scrape off propolis and wax build-up and check each frame for signs of damage. Keeping frames in top condition is crucial for the health of the hive.

🔧 Equipment Repairs - Not just the frames, but all beekeeping equipment needs a once-over. Broken parts are repaired or replaced, from hive tools to smokers and protective gear, ensuring everything is ready for the busy season ahead.

🏠 Making Roofs and Covers - Protecting the hive from various weather conditions is vital, especially during harsh winters. We spend time building and repairing hive roofs and covers that will shield our bees from rain and snow.

📚 Education and Planning - Winter also provides a valuable pause for learning and future planning. It’s a time for growth and preparation for hopefully a great 2025 season!

Why do we have different locations labelled on our honey jars? 🍯🐝

We’re lucky enough to have bee hives in different locations where we know the bees thrive best. Whilst this does mean it takes us longer to do inspections and harvests, it’s definitely worth it! We have two main reasons:

🌾 Local Honey, Local Benefits
Honey produced closer to your home may help with allergies. It contains traces of local pollen, which can support your body in building resistance to allergens over time. That’s why it is such a good home remedy for those with hay fever. Keeping our honey separate allows you to choose honey most local to you.

Secondly, just like wine, honey’s flavour reflects the environment it’s from. Bees forage on different flowers in each area, creating distinct tastes and colours in the honey. By keeping our batches separate, you can enjoy the true essence of each location.

By choosing local honey, you’re supporting not just bees, but the plants and crops they help pollinate.

What’s your favourite honey location, and why? Let us know below! 👇

Bee survival over Winter 🌨️🐝
• Bees are incredible at preparing for winter and surviving the hardest conditions! As temperatures drop, they form a tight cluster inside the hive, surrounding their queen to keep her warm

• Through constant movement and muscle vibrations, they generate heat to maintain the hive’s temperature around 30–35°C (86–95°F). The inner bees in the cluster keep the queen warm, while the outer bees act as insulation. These roles constantly rotate, ensuring no bee stays in the cold for too long ❄️

• Where do they get their fuel from? 🍯 Honey! During winter, bees rely on the honey they’ve stored all year, consuming it to produce energy and heat. That’s why leaving enough honey for the hive is crucial for their survival. We’re incredibly careful during our harvests, taking only what’s necessary and leaving the rest for the bees. As standard, beekeepers should leave a minimum of 20kg in a beehive over winter to allow them to survive.

• Minimal activity: In winter, bees rarely leave the hive unless it’s a warmer day (known as a “cleansing flight” day) to stretch their wings and relieve themselves. Otherwise, they conserve energy and stay clustered for warmth.

• Too much moisture inside the hive, pests like varroa mites, or insufficient food stores can threaten their survival. That’s where beekeepers step in to support them through careful hive management.

• Winter is tough, but bees show us the beauty of teamwork and resilience

Bee survival over Winter 🌨️🐝
• Bees are incredible at preparing for winter and surviving the hardest conditions! As temperatures drop, they form a tight cluster inside the hive, surrounding their queen to keep her warm

• Through constant movement and muscle vibrations, they generate heat to maintain the hive’s temperature around 30–35°C (86–95°F). The inner bees in the cluster keep the queen warm, while the outer bees act as insulation. These roles constantly rotate, ensuring no bee stays in the cold for too long ❄️

Ian entered several categories and came out with 3x 1st prize, 3x 2nd prize, 1x 3rd prize and a highly commended 👏🏼

The award he was most proud of was the 1st prize he received for his honey and heather honey. Super proud that out of 15 entries, Ian’s honey was judged 1st for taste, clarity and aroma 🍯

So thankful for all the ongoing support!

🐝The not so glamorous life of a beekeeper! 🐝

As the seasons change, so do our daily jobs as a beekeeper. At this time of year, all our honey has been harvested and our bees are winding down, ready for the winter months. They are visiting any flowers they can find, particularly on the rare warm, sunny days we have.

We are busy cleaning our frames to prevent infection, rendering down our beeswax to make candles, preparing for our autumn and winter fairs and book keeping! Not jobs we particularly enjoy, but we are so grateful that the summer has been more successful than the spring and we have lots of lovely, fresh honey to last us until next year!

LOVE LOCAL TRUST LOCAL WINNER 🐝💛

So proud and honoured to have been awarded the 2024 prize for CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY at the Love Local Trust Local Awards ceremony last night. Even prouder that we could attend this important event as a family because this has always been a family venture!

The positive environmental impact of our work extends beyond our sustainable honey production. Our bees contribute significantly to local biodiversity, greatly enhancing our local ecosystem. By combining traditional beekeeping with innovative sustainability practices, we’re not just producing honey, we’re nurturing a more environmentally conscious community and fostering a healthier planet for future generations.

A huge thank you to Love Local Trust Local for believing in us and what we do and to all our lovely customers who buy our delicious honey! This just makes all the hard work worthwhile 🐝🍯🐝
