Our honey is now available for sale!

We have a very limited quantity of just 15 jars of 8oz that are currently available to purchase from Irwins Sandwich Bar on Ringwood Highway, Coventry.
Martina the owner of Irwins is also the founder of the Tree Sanctuary where our Apiary is situated.
The honey has been produced by our very hardworking bees from our Cersei hive and despite the issues with the Queen this season, they have still produced the tastiest sweet honey.
Our honey is 100% natural.
The whole process has involved approximately 30,000 bees and me and Paul who have done the whole process by hand.
Our jars are £8 each and contains 8oz of honey and a whole lot of love.

If you don't want to miss out and want to reserve a jar, drop me a message and I will ask Martina to put a jar aside for you.

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported our bee journey and who appreciate exactly what goes into every single jar of honey

As you can tell, I was extremely excited to finally spot our Nesta Queen 👑🐝

We had some pretty angry bees when we did our inspection yesterday. Watch with the sound up.

A little bit of history about our Nesta hive. We were really worried about the survival of this hive a few weeks ago but just like her namesake (IYKYK) she has come back fighting.

End of season prep for our Sassy Bee Apiary. We are currently making sure that the bees have enough stores to get through the colder months and we are feeding them bee syrup to help them build the stores up. The Nesta hive is struggling at the moment so we are giving them every chance to get through the winter.

To explain a little bit more about Varoa Mites, they are a parasite that can wipe out whole colonies of bees if left untreated. Treatment is obviously done after the honey has been harvested at around this time of the year and then again during the winter months. Varoa will steal vital nutrients from bees by piercing them and injecting pathogens into bees that cause wing deformities and compromise immunity resulting in a shorter lifespan. This will then have a impact on the colonies ability to replace the dying worker bees.
If anyone is interested in becoming a beekeeper I can not stress enough how important it is to attend a beekeeping course, because going into beekeeping with little to no knowledge will put your bees at risk of disease.

This week's update from our Sassy Bee Apiary. We are getting towards the end of the season and this is where we need to start thinking about prepping the girls for winter.

Please enjoy the double act that is me and Paul checking one of our hives. We reversed roles for this hive, so Paul is filming and I am inspecting.
This is our first full season beekeeping independently. Last season was spent training with the Beekeepers association and I am so glad that we took the time to learn as much as we could because beekeeping is not as easy as you would think. This hive (Nesta) has been quite challenging for us. We removed the old queen and some of the brood from the Cersei hive and they became the Nesta hive, the reason we removed the queen was because the bees in the Cersei hive were producing queen cells ready for a new queen. We were never sure how old the old queen was so with removing her and starting a new colony was always a risk, however she did lay a good amount of brood before she disappeared (we think she probably died). The hive then produced a queen cell to replace the old queen and we believe she is currently on her virgin flight, this can take up to 3 weeks for the queen to mate with as many drones as she can to enable her to produce brood for up to 3 seasons.
This season has definitely been an experience and a learning curve for me and Paul and we are still learning, however we are both enjoying our own little Sassy Bee Apiary. 🐝

An update on our hives. It's been quite challenging as you will hear but it's great experience.
