HONEY - NOT YET AVAILABLE (JUNE 2025)
Summer at last!! The bees are now out in force foraging on all the beautiful blooms we have at the moment in the garden! Keep planting bee friendly plants and putting a saucer of water with stones outside so they can stand on the stones and get a drink without getting their wings wet! If your name's on the waiting list, we'll let you know when honey is ready...
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 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 lavender, cosmos, yarrow, marigolds, sunflowers, golden rod, snowdrop, ivy, crocus, fennel, geraniums, asters, poppies...
