Restocks delivered to @WillowTreeDeli at Wroxham Barns and The brand new Norfolk Food Hall who sold out of our Wildflower Honey in a week! I should have grabbed some photos really..

Look at this big beautiful girl. One of the first daughters of our @jolantasqueens breeder queen to emerge in the incubator this morning. Busy day now sorting 34 more of them out and into mating nucs. Queen rearing is the best part of beekeeping!

[BroadsBee @BroadsBee]

Very exciting and huge relief as today we could safely check the acceptance of our new @jolantasqueens breeder queen. Great service and advice from Jolanta and @calluna4u. Looking forward to introducing new genetics to our stock and soon having some new queens to sell!

@TylaGlasBees Me yesterday. All over my face and hair. With haircut booked for an hour later…. Great fun

@Stbenetsbees Pretty hot in the honey room today though!

We're accidentally an Export Business now with sales to Austria and Romania just this week. I'd never planned to go down this route, but I'm very happy to help get the EZPZ range out to the UK and Europe. I wonder which country we can tick off next? https://t.co/7QzDSiN8W6

Short video showing one of our Virgin Queens which has just emerged in the incubator and how we look after them with the EZPZ cages before taking them to their mating nucs. #beekeepershour #beekeeping

Finally managed to get started with the queen rearing. First harvest of queen cells in the incubator in their EZPZ cages and trays.

@Robwils94254586 To be completely fair that’s more than one starter.. but yes my first graft each year doesn’t normally go so well. The cages are excellent we’re glad to be making and selling them in the UK and Europe now, saves so much time and money than shipping them in from the US.

First of the spring honey harvest is underway! #beekeeping #beekeepershour

[Love British Food @LoveBritishFood]

Our domestic honey supply is driven by small-scale bee farmers.

Instead of a mass produced, overly processed product - you get honey that has simply been filtered and packaged, retaining great flavours.

If you want quality honey, buy British!🇬🇧

Cutting it fine, printing beekeeping gadgets! Coming very soon to https://t.co/JpEUsSrqVj. #beekeeping #beekeepershour #ezpz

Overwintered nucs are looking very strong! Lovely day here in Norfolk. The season is underway! #beekeepershour #beekeeping

Jarring honey this afternoon ahead of our first farmers market of the year at @worsteadestate on Saturday!

[BroadsBee @BroadsBee]

@SheffieldHoney At least it'll be warm in the truck!

[BroadsBee @BroadsBee]

This is so important. The news today is full of the EU voting for better honey labelling so that you know where it's coming from. With small local beekeepers you know exactly where it's coming from!

[BlackDogHoneyBees @BlackDogHoney]

We're in a continental food shop in #Plymouth, and this #honey has passed through 5 different countries to get here!

Think about that!
A blend from 5 different countries!

Is it real?

Our honey doesn't even pass through 5 gates, to get from field to jar!

New character unlocked, and Clare's new favourite candle, the Christmas Gnome or Gonk! If the packaging that I ordered last week arrives tomorrow... We'll have him available in our hampers/giftpacks too! #candles #beeswax #beekeepershour
