🐝 🎄🐝 🎄 🐝 🎄 🐝 🎄

New for this year we have two new candle gift boxes, our beeswax candles have been so popular lately we thought a selection could make a wonderful gift.

We also have a new pure beeswax tin candle - burn time 10 hours.

Alongside our Christmas spice soap and Christmas tree candles we have a plenty gift ideas on our website.

All products made here at Chain Bridge Honey Farm and are available to buy online or click and collect.

We can also send your gift direct to your recipient, note card included.

Life has remained fairly busy at the Honey Farm, we hope to reopen next year. We re nearly finished bringing all the beehives down from the moors to their winter sites where they will be sheltered and warmer over winter.

Happy Sunday folks x 🐝

We have started moving our beehives up to the Moorlands in the hope of some Heather honey 🤞. It is a little early but the bright Bell Heather is out. There is also clover and willow herb to keep the bees happy.

We set off early this morning to move the hives from a field of flowering beans (and daisies) then drove a good few miles up into the hills to their new home for the next few months.

We like to move the hives in cooler weather so all the bees are ‘in’, we use a wee puff of smoke (from a traditional bee smoker) and a wee wooden stick to shut them in. This stick is removed and the bees let out once the hives are settled in the new location.

Look how happy these bees are to be out 🐝🐝🐝.

We move the bees as quickly and gently as possible in our custom built #foersibex trucks.

Well that was June ! A sweet mix of bees, honey, swarms, bees, honey, swarms, bees, honey and swarms. Hey we re not complaining how lucky are we to have these lovely busy bees and all this delicious honey to sell 🐝. A decent bit of weather really brought things on and we’ve collected some super duper honey. Sorry our visitor centre is closed it’s just easier for now, our products can be found all over the place though I’ve even heard on the Moon 🌚
