Spring fact: Cape honey bee workers have a remarkable trick, during reproductive swarming, some workers can lay unfertilised eggs in queen cells that develop into female bees, including potential queens. Nature has given the Cape bee an extraordinary way to keep the colony going.

We had another wonderful opportunity to share our love and knowledge of bees, as well as our passion for natural products, at The Range Café for this past Women’s Month.

It was such a pleasure connecting with wonderful women, sharing stories, learning together and celebrating the incredible world of bees.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special!

Spring is a season of renewal, and the hive comes alive with it!

As the Western Cape bursts into bloom, our Cape honey bees become busier than ever. With an abundance of fynbos flowers providing nectar and pollen, the bees spend their days foraging, the colony grows stronger, and the queen increases her brood production.

For the hive, spring is a time of growth, activity and preparation for the busy months ahead.

As the fynbos awakens, so does the hive. Here’s to a beautiful new season filled with flowers, buzzing wings and the wonders of nature.

Spring is almost here, and with it comes a hive of activity!

Did you know that the Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) is found only in South Africa and is especially well adapted to the unique conditions of the Cape?

As the days begin to warm and the fynbos comes to life, these incredible little bees become increasingly active, foraging among the abundance of spring blooms.

Here’s to the season of new beginnings, buzzing wings, and beautiful blossoms!

We believe it’s our responsibility to care for our bees in a way that is both ethical and sustainable. Responsible beekeeping means respecting the natural behaviour of the colony, providing them with the care and protection they need, and always putting the wellbeing of our bees first.

By working with nature rather than against it, we can help protect these incredible pollinators and ensure a healthier future for both our bees and the environment.

We were delighted to spot another bee swarm visiting one of our hives! It’s always fascinating to witness these incredible pollinators in action as they explore and search for a place to call home. 🐝

Our relationship with the Fynbos is one of deep respect and connection. Its incredible diversity of flowers provides our bees with vital nectar and pollen, while our bees play an important role in pollinating the plants that make this unique ecosystem so special.

From the wildflowers to the honey they help create, every hive tells a story of this remarkable landscape. We’re proud to care for our bees while celebrating and protecting the natural environment they depend on.
