Pewsey Honey

Phacelia! What a wonderful plant for the bees. Today I've seen several bumble, solitary and honey bees on our phacelia bed. Our bees take it in turns to collect either nectar or black pollen from these flowers. So relieved to see a few more different species today too! Oh - and a pigeon nesting in the apple tree! She thinks if she stays really still I won't see her!

One of our girls collecting nectar to make delicious summer Pewsey Honey.

Does any know where we can get these tamper labels made for our honey. Our previous supplier has retired and we don't have the pdf. They are 10mm wide and 90mm long.
We've tried Wessex print but he can't do them.

Pewsey Honey is OPEN!!
The first batch of our delicious 'Spring Honey' is ready!
This is a soft set honey to spread on your toast or eat by the spoonful!
Message us to arrange a time to collect.
We are on Milton Road, Pewsey - you can even spend a few moments watching the bees!
£5 for 8oz and £7.50 for 12oz

Our bees are busy in the garden today!
We tried to follow a bee through the undergrowth of the garden to see how many dandelions she visited to fill her pollen baskets. We counted 6 flowers and she disappeared... either back to her hive or maybe another dandelion across the lawn.

It's the small things in life that make the world go round 🌎 🐝

Stock check:- After supplying our 'Terminator' race winners with local Pewsey Honey as part of their prize package (what a lovely idea!) - we are down to our last 3 jars of soft set honey (12oz/340g)!
We do have several of our beautiful long handmade tapered candles available for Mother's Day/special occasion dinner gifts.
Our bees were out in force today - on next door's Goat Willow - bringing in lots of pollen. Most looked to be young foragers which bodes well for our 4 home colonies! Fingers crossed for some good spring weather 🤞🐝

Pewsey Honey is open to customers! Please message or call to arrange a time to visit. We have plenty of our famous soft set honey, elegant hand dipped beeswax candles, cute clay bee tags but only a limited amount of summer honey. We'll also be at St. Francis School Fair, Pewsey on Thursday 16th November, Bouverie Hall in Pewsey on Saturday 25th November and NT Christmas Market in Averbury on 2nd and 3rd December.

Please be vigilant! These are a huge threat to our native bees and pollinators. Try and take a photo if you see one and report via Asian Hornet Watch

Bee..zy day! We've had to take some spring honey supers off the hives today as we can't reach the top of the stack to add another one! 😄

After a very cold and wet early spring our bees are now in full foraging mode! At the moment the bees are bringing in mainly hawthorn, oil seed r**e and the last of the dandelions. Spring set honey!
Rob looks happy adding a fourth super to Queen Caroline's hive!

Today Rob has made 6 more candles ready for the Christmas Fayre at the Bouverie Hall on Saturday. Each candle is individually hand dipped to make beautiful beeswax tapered candles. These are made from cappings from our honey harvest this year (from our garden in Pewsey), filtered through a home made solar wax melt device, dipped 22 (or more) times in molten wax. It is a labour of love. Come and visit us at the Fayre to see all our honey and wax products!

Our Christmas gift boxes are ready! We have a limited number due to box supplies. Order soon or visit us at the local Christmas Fayres!

Come and visit Rob and Nettie at Woodborough Christmas shopping fair in the Vale of Pewsey! .[email protected] will be at Woodborough Social Club from 11am-3pm.

Wiltshire Honey show in Devizes yesterday. It was a brilliant day...lots of stands and activities for the whole family. And we won a cup and certificates for our honey and bee products!

Catching the last of the September sun as we jar the last of our summer honey 🍯
