From late spring to early autumn our honeybees thrive and keep busy pollinating our diverse range of crops across the farm, helping to increase our overall production while feeding themselves and, of course, creating a wonderful blend of honey.
While the bees help to pollinate our legume, seed, flower, fruit and vegetable crops, the nectar they gather is mainly from clover, wild elderflower and thyme. They also gather from apple blossom, pea flowers, lupins, sunflowers, phacelia and other blooms we grow in their environment.
Our honey is raw and unfiltered. Once or twice a year, we harvest it from the hives, leaving enough for the bees themselves, then spin (to separate it from the frames) and bottle it. There’s nothing else to it.
