Our friends @killerbeeshoney perch on a mountain-t

Our friends @killerbeeshoney perch on a mountain-top above the Pisgah National Park. Sean’s bees produce rare & exquisite Sourwood honey - his hives corralled by electric fences to keep black bears at bay! Denise reigns over all things design, finance & hive product-related.

In 2023, their Sourwood honey scooped up the Good Food Award in the U.S. & increasingly reaches a world-wide clientele. Production is limited & - like all authentic and exceptional honeys - sells out fast. Off-season, the vast van transports @killerbeeshoney across the USA !

At tree-level on the roof of a sprawling, ex-meatpacking monolith in Chicago’s “Back of the Yards” district @bikeabee ‘s hives echo our own urban brownfield apiaries. Jana’s busy honey house is nestled below: brim-full of supers, a 3-frame extractor & boxes of jarred honey.

Its floor resonates with the music of our boots squeaking across a veneer of wax, honey & propolis. @bikeabee ‘s social enterprise is founded on pedal-powered sustainability, community engagement & bee welfare - conjuring characterful honeys from the bustle of the Windy City.

While Chicago’s bees were making the most of the last, lingering days of Summer, the Chicago Bears were losing the first two games of their NFL season. Go Bees!

A blizzard of bees making their orientation flight

A blizzard of bees making their orientation flights. Novice fliers need to stretch their wings & sat-nav the location of their hive before their first outbound foraging mission.

A burst of warm midday sunshine is the perfect stimulus for these trainee pilots to earn their wings.

We have had the nicest people visiting our Honey HQ this summer.

Here’s a celebrated restauranteuse, a legendary beekeeper, an eminent broadcaster and a hard-hitting journalist.

Our bees can recognise them all - can you?

We’ve literally taken these words out of the mouths of the @guildoffinefood judges about our 2-star Honeycomb:

“Floral & delicate, this honeycomb provides lots of flavour, a chewy, sweet mouthfeel & a long lasting finish. It beautifully evokes an English summer
garden. Wonderful!”

Wet & windy film session at a central London apiar

Wet & windy film session at a central London apiary today with 8 documentary film students from the @britishfilminstitute, preaching to camera about honeybee welfare, unsung urban wild bees & re-balancing in the metropolis. Bees kept undisturbed. As for celebrity beekeeping: “It should be about the bee, not about me”.

Just like our bees, beekeepers don’t hibernate in winter. Only last week, we delivered 85 1lb jars of our local, award-winning Royal Albert Dock honey to Eric Samuel’s foodbank @communityfood_ & also signed up (yet another) Michelin-starred chef for our range of wholesale honey.

The judges @nationalhoneyshow awarded this honeycomb from the hives in the forage-rich, chemical-free @visitlambethpalace garden the accolade of “Best In Middlesex”.

Can’t help thinking that the bee photobombing the frame is backing up that verdict.

It’s always worth getting a second opinion from an expert!

Taking some Sussex Downs-time, I unearthed this beekeeping treasure trove in a basement bookshop:

• Comb Honey - Willie Robson

• Heather Honey - George Vickery

• Judging Honey In A Jar - Cecil Tonsley

• Showing Honey Products - Ron Brown

Beekeeping = life-long learning!

In the 2023 Great British Food Awards, four of our honeys were pipped at the post for gold & were each awarded silver medals. After 2022’s “Best Honey” in the UK & 2021’s “Best Producer in the South East” from @gbf_mag, we can at least take comfort from the consistent excellence of our honeys !
