CHESHIRE HONEY,                          TYTHERINGTON

NOT READY JUST YET! 

The bees are out foraging on the sunny days with all the blossom and blooms out in force - our garden is in beautiful full colour with pollen blowing wildly from the conifers - you had to see it to believe it - the red buds all popped one day and it looked like the conifer was on fire! We have daffodils, crocuses, grape hyacinths, camellia, forsythia, ribes, cherry blossom and some rhodedendron as well as dandelions which the bees absolutely LOVE so please don't poison them with weed killer, let the bees enjoy them then we can enjoy their lovely honey - then once they have enough for themselves and the hives are overflowing with honey - we can take some and we will let you know once we have filtered and jarred it up ready for you to collect.  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, daffodils, fennel, geraniums, asters, poppies, cotoneaster, geraniums, open roses, petunias, daisies, pansies, globe thistles...
