Hi all! We've had many, many requests for honey already this year and this alongside our interest list from last year is making things quite interesting!
Just to clarify the list is to express interest only. We will be collecting and jarring the honey throughout the year and will be selling in batches through the page as and when available.
... As this happens we will contact people already on the list to check if they want fulfil an order but won't be adding any new names to it due to the unprecedented demand.
We hope that this is the fairest way to ensure that all can taste our lovely honey and will keep you updated with our progress.

Jasper & Ada have had a busy day checking up on the bees at one of our three sites. We’re very excited about the expansion of our business since last year and how we can grow it over the coming years. Please feel free to share our post/page. The more people who see us the better!

27 months and no fear of the bees! Just thousands of little friends!

Always happy when they are at their bees! #nearlyhoneyseason

At Thornes of Scotland, trading in the bees wax for fresh wax foundation sheets 😊

Hefting hives with this new addition to the team 😊❤️, all colonies have made it through winter so far, just waiting on the spring build up. 🐝

With the bee's settling down for winter, I've had time to get back to the studio.
