Okay be honest, before today did you know what a queen excluder actually does? Most people don’t, but you’re about to.🐝

A beehive is basically a tiny, very organised apartment building, and every floor has a purpose. Swipe through and see how it all fits together, roof to floor.

What makes our Heather Honey so special (other than the awards 😉)?

One plant, a few short weeks, and a honey that sets like jelly and refuses to leave the comb the easy way. It takes more from both bee and beekeeper to get this one from hive to jar.

Available all year round, but this is the season it's actually made.

Tell us your favourite way to eat it.

This year, Marta flew to France to meet .sbees at Wild Oak Woods. They'd been friends through Instagram for a while, but this was the first time they could actually sit down and talk about beekeeping, honey, and why it all matters to them.

Over two evenings, they tasted honeys from India, France, and Scotland. Each one completely different from the last.
