A taste of honey

Our top bar hive was established this year in a new Eco garden. Over time the bees have populated and created more than fifteen natural combs.

They have survived a fairly challenging start in a really early spring and very strange summer that finished early, reducing the food availability.

The strength of this new colony has been impressive while others have struggled.

Rather than being over ambitious honey thieves we’ve restricted our harvest this year.

Only one beautiful comb.

And then the prize.

Comb honey.

Comb honey is delicious and expensive.

And it’s mine.
