    Raw honey

    Time to change our tune?

    BeeKeyPlayer - sometimes I think people can overthink things a bit. Honey may not be the “Super cure all food stuff” that some profess but it is a pretty good natural product which when treated with respect ain’t half bad and is certainly a damn sight better for you than processed sweeteners.

    The Beekeeping Show 2024

    Surprised not to have seen a thread about this? Maybe I’ve missed & if so apologies. Spent a day at the trade exhibition in Telford on Saturday. Really pleased that this appears to be growing into the event that the original BeeTradeX was. Well supported with a large number of European...

    Extractor

    Yep but Thornes have been about for a while, should there be any issues (not to be expected) and you’d have them sorted. Re-sale value will also hold up due to this should your circumstances change. Maybe kept an eye out for a second hand one.

    New EU honey labelling rules.

    I don’t think the target market paying 75p for a jar of honey really care where it’s sourced from (or even what it actually is).

    New EU honey labelling rules.

    As with all others I’m aware of the fraudulent product imported into the UK but didn’t appreciate the onward movement of said product - with all the whoha about Brexit boundaries etc etc I’m surprised by your statement. Why go to all the bother of buying from us as opposed to importing directly...
