HONEY - NOW SOLD OUT - OCT 2025
We are well into the berrr months now and the bees will still forage for any pollen available - plant ivy, mahonia and heathers and bulbs to flower in early spring such as crocuses, snowdrops, winter aconites, anything you can find that is winter-flowering. We have left enough honey on the hive to get the bees through the winter months whilst they hibernate in peace. Remember, a saucer of water with stones outside will provide drinking water for them - they will stand on the stones and drink without getting their wings wet!
PLEASE NEVER USE PESTICIDES!! Warm water with salt poured on weeds is all that is needed - remember, a weed is just a flower in the wrong place! Bees LOVE dandelions!
Plant lavender, yarrow and open blooms which are easy for the bee to get pollen from; wild flowers, wild roses, dandelions...
If you see a honey bee resting on the ground (looks like a very small wasp!) you could help it by giving it a saucer of water with stones in so it can stand on the stones to get a drink without getting wet - you could also add sugar/honey to feed it and help the whole of humanity because without the bees, we cannot survive!
Other plants bees love are cosmos, yarrow, marigolds, sunflowers, golden rod, snowdrop, ivy, crocus, fennel, geraniums, asters, poppies, cotoneaster, geraniums, petunias, daisies, pansies...
