After the recent nest found on the Isle of Wight we are doing all we can to learn about how we are dealing with these Hornets!

It’s !

Every sighting matters. Your reports are important.

Using radio-tracking technology, a single sighting can lead to the discovery and removal of a Yellow-legged Hornet nest, helping to protect honeybees and native insects.

See how to spot and report them: https://www.nationalbeeunit.com/diseases-and-pests/asian-hornet

We have had a very productive and busy week.

We would like to introduce you to our newest team member, Gracie. She is very confident and has potential but would rather spend 90% of the day napping 😴

The apairy is now in full winter prep mode, we have 12 healthy colonies going into winter and we are planning on doubling that next season.

We have loved hearing your feedback on how much you have enjoyed our honey 🍯 and we still have plenty for sale for those that want to either try or just simply get more.

Our little shelf at Generational Health has been doing very well and our lip balm has also been very popular.

We offer free islandwide delivery of our honey at £8 for a 227g jar, if you are interested just send us a message 🥰
