It’s been a day of harvesting honey from our hives 🤗

7 frames packed full of delicious honey, now ready for filtering & jarring-up to be sold in our our pop up shop to the local community 🍯

Wonderful to see Dr Alsous, the real ‘Beekeeper of Aleppo’ on Look North tonight. He was kind enough to visit the @OutbackGardenHX to help us site our hives, and then return to tell his story to local refugees. He is the inspiration for our very own project 🐝

We’ve had a quick check up today by our keepers Neil and Stuart. We’ve been busy! 🐝🐝🐝🐝

We welcome visitors to our hives, which can be safely viewed from behind our viewing window. Our keepers are happy to do a demo too. DM for more details.

Our bees are tucked in for the winter now. We’ll be back next Spring where you can visit our home ‘The Hive’, learn about our bees and see them in action 🐝

If you would like to arrange a visit to see us in the @OutbackGardenHX - give us a buzz! 🤭

We’re loving these bee designs made by the children attending our open day yesterday 😍

They loved getting creative in our hive building, as well as learning about beekeeping from Neil 🤩🐝

We are all #greenwarriers at @HalifaxOppTrust! Food & paper waste being collected for #composting and the ultimate result (via our organic soil and plants @OutbackGardenHX) is our beautiful, hyper local @PollinatorsPark honey!
