One of those Sundays where you wonder how you managed to fit quite so much into one day! 🐝

Thank you to everyone who popped by to see Mum and Grandad at Skipton today. It was a soggy start, but thankfully the rain gave way to a lovely warm afternoon, and they had a busy day chatting to customers and sharing our honey ❤️

It’s been a busy few days all round. Over the last two nights, the first of the hives have come home from the heather moors, which means the new season honeys are getting closer! 🍯

We can’t wait to get them extracted, jarred and ready for you. Watch this space!

Today was also a first for us, with Emma heading off to our first ever wedding showcase at Ponden mill weddings taking along our honey and beeswax wedding favours 💍🐝

A huge thank you to the events team for making her feel so welcome, to all the couples who came along, and to the other talented wedding suppliers who made it such a brilliant atmosphere. It was lovely to be part of it and see so many businesses bringing everything together.

And then, after Skipton and the wedding showcase, we all headed out to the hives this evening to harvest honey. Because apparently Sundays are for grafting! 😂

We finally called it a day with a very well-earned Sunday dinner at the Harts Head ❤️

Tomorrow, it’s back to more beekeeping, extracting and jarring, with another busy and exciting week ahead.

Next weekend you’ll find us at:

🐝 Hodder Valley Show, Slaidburn
Saturday 12th September

🐝 R.S.H Artisan Markets, Settle
Sunday 13th September

If you’re heading along, come and say hello! 🐝

Our honey, handmade beeswax candles and wedding favours are all available for country-wide delivery via our website:

This Sunday we’re heading back to Skipton Canal Basin with R.S.H Artisan Markets, and we’d love to see you there! 💛

It’s such a lovely spot for a Sunday wander - easy parking, a short gentle walk into the High Street, and a whole host of brilliant local makers and small businesses to discover along the way 🛍️

And of course, we’ll be there with our four current varieties of unpasteurised North Yorkshire honey, so come and have a taste, compare the flavours and find your favourite. Every jar comes from our own bees, foraging across the Yorkshire Dales 🐝

Plus, we’ll have our bee-autiful handmade beeswax candles and some lovely gift ideas if you’re looking for something a little different ❤️

A Sunday market, a wander along the canal, local makers, good things to eat, plenty to discover…and maybe a jar of local Yorkshire honey to take home 💛

Come and make a day of it - we’ll see you at the Canal Basin! 🎪

Our honey comes from the landscape our bees forage in every day. Where bees forage matters 🌳

Here in the Yorkshire Dales, the landscape is open and rural. Fields divided by stone walls, sheep on the hills, cattle in the meadows and moorland stretching beyond. Fresh air, open hills and a landscape rich in natural forage.

This is a landscape shaped by farming, nature and generations of people caring for the land. From the farmers looking after the fields and livestock to the gamekeepers managing the moorland, they all play a part in the landscape our bees call home 🐝

It's simply where we live, and we're proud to be beekeepers here.

And this is the landscape that goes into every jar of our honey 🍯

Well Kilnsey, you’ve done it again! 😂🐝

We brought a lot of honey with us this morning…and you lot clearly had plans for it 🍯

It’s been such a good day. Friends popping by, familiar faces, lots of new faces and plenty of conversations about bees and honey. Exactly why we love getting out to these shows.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us, bought some honey and took the time to have a chat. We really do appreciate your support ❤️

Now, after a 4.30am start, we’re calling it a night before we fall asleep where we’re sitting! 😂

We'll be at Skipton Canal Basin with R.S.H Artisan Markets on Sunday, 5th September. See you there! 🐝

This is why food labelling matters.

You don’t see our honey in every supermarket, but when you buy a jar of our honey, we want you to know exactly what you’re buying - and where it came from.

Our labels tell you it’s Produce of England, it shows Matthew's name and tells you where to find us. Because there’s nothing hidden behind a vague description or a blend of honeys from different places.

Our honey is from our bees, in our hives, here in North Yorkshire. We don’t buy in honey, we don’t blend it and we don’t add anything. And our bees always come first 🐝🍯

So next time you pick up a jar of honey, have a look at the label.

Where does your honey actually come from?
Does the label tell you?
Was it produced/packaged by a company or does it tell you the name of the beekeeper?
And does it tell you enough to make an informed choice?

It’s worth asking questions when you buy a jar of honey 🐝
