Learn about bees, honey and pollen

BEES
- Honeybees are part of a surprising effort to help address environmental challenges
- Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors such as pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, global warming, air pollution, heavy rainfall flooding and storms as typically faced in the UK.
- Most flowering plants rely on insects such as bees for pollination.
- Bees are efficient pollinators because they can move directly from one flower to another, picking up and unintentionally depositing pollen along the way, allowing fertilisation for the flowers to reproduce.
- The more bees the healthier our planet becomes!
If your interested in starting off beekeeping we have a small beehive starter just for you! - 6 frame nuc's (including queen) is the best starting point! (How we started)
^ if your looking for something bigger we even have 11 frame full bee colonies(including queen)

- All our bee products are straight from the hive! Raw honey is natural and with no added sugar. Therefore our honey crystallises over time which is a sign of pureness.
- In raw natural honey, 'set' or 'runny' is just about the sugar content. One isn't more natural or 'pure' than the other. They are the exact same however some people prefer the more solid texture of set honey and some prefer the more runny smooth texture.
- Metal can damage or reduce the healing properties in honey if it were in contact with it for an extended period of time.
- Most people would suggest not to use a metal spoon as honey has an acidic pH and reacts with metallic surface. This is true as the reaction may damage and reduce the healing properties of honey. It is a big no-no to leave a metal spoon in a jar of honey!

- If you think bee honey is beneficial, you will be amazed to know what bee pollen is, and the additional properties it has!
- Pollen is composed of microscopic particles produced by the male flower. Bees harvest them and transport pollen to the hive, and that’s when it is called bee pollen. Pollen is where bees collect protein from nature, and it is essential to develop bee colonies.
- Bee pollen comes from a variety of plants and has many properties depending on the climatic condition, the source of flowers, and the geographical origin. It holds so much more qualities than honey. This is why its more rare/expensive.
- Elevate your well-being with our bee pollen! Experience the benefits of this big pot of goodness for yourself!
- Get a long lasting taste of the benefits with this large size option.
- Each colour granule and shade is from a different type of plant species.
- Bee pollen has been used for centuries for nutritional and medicinal purposes, and modern science confirms that the sweet-tasting granules contain many health-boosting nutrients.
