🍯 Spring Honey Available 🍯

Happy Sunday everyone, we hope you are having a beeautiful day 🐝😍

We have now contacted everyone on the waiting list for our latest batch of Spring set honey 🍯. Thank you for waiting 🙏.

We organise our honey in small batches, balancing extracting it from the hives at the right time, with leaving plenty in the hives for our bees. Honey is their food source and as our Scottish weather is unpredictable, they need good reserves to see them through the days that are too cold/wet/windy to fly and collect nectar 🌀☔️🐝

If you haven't received a message from us and think you should have, please contact us and we will be in touch ASAP 🥰. Messages may also have gone to your "message requests" folder, as FB doesn't like to make things easy 😫

For the lovely people patiently waiting on runny honey, hopefully we aren't too far off extracting runny Summer honey now that we have some sunny weather ☀️

Rock n roll Saturday night, planting away in the Polycrub, when I'm handed a snack straight from the hive tonight 🐝🍯

Delicious 😋 😋 😋
