Crystallised Honey, what it means and what to do🍯

OSR (Oilseed R**e) honey, often produced during the spring months when oilseed r**e fields are in bloom, is a common source of honey for beekeepers - giving a cloudier looking honey crop

OSR honey tends to set hard due to its high glucose content from the OSR and is a great sign for the level of quality of the honey. It can still be used in a crystallised state if you prefer, perfect for being sprinkled on porridge!

To de-crystalise your honey, all you need is the warm water from your kitchen tap and a small bowl:

Let the water run so it gets nice and warm,
place your jar of honey in the bowl and add water until it's about three-quarters up the side of the jar.
Using a teaspoon stir the honey gently and continuously, making sure not to splash water into your jar - when runny again….Enjoy 😋

A real treat and rare sight to see a new queen bee emerge and watch her meet her new colony for the first time - watch how the bees instantly start to follow her and get acustomed - she will now fly on a mating flight over the coming few weeks to return and head up the colony and continue their growth 👑 🐝

2 new mated queens ready to go into 2 of our hives this week to boost colony genetics….no one likes angry bees 🤣

2025 SPRING HONEY IN STOCK - plenty of 8oz jars available @ £5 a jar

Call in for some pure fen field honey - 58 Stretham road, Wilburton

Spring has sprung early for the bees and they have been busy!!

We have managed to take one harvest early this year and the bees are still hard at it re filling the boxes we extracted for a second time this spring!!! So looks like more honey coming our way in a few weeks ☺️

If it’s purely for the taste or to help with hay fever, grab a jar and enjoy 🍯

Listen carefully and you can hear a queen be ‘pipping’ - this is her telling the colony she is there and now in charge

The hives have all been wanting to swarm in this weather.

As a beekeeper we manipulate them to simulate them swarming so we don’t loose thousands of bees into someone’s garden.

One hive has been successful so far and the new 2025 queen is making herself known to the hive

Left picture of the bees drawing out queen cells to raise a new queen - only one will be allowed to survive

Right hand picture is a newly hatched queen from one of those cells (marked for easy spotting and her birth year to monitor her age, checking out her new colony
