Our delicious Sainfoin honey is available now in the Farm Shop! Did you know each Honey Bee will produce just 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey over it's lifetime? Don't let their hard work go to waste, always remember to lick the spoon!

Don't miss out on our inaugural ORFC in the Field @FarmED in early July. Two days of hands-on workshops from incredible practitioners in everything from heritage grains to beekeeping to agroforestry. Great food and great company too! fixr.co/event/135069508
Meet the Maker: we went along to meet Chris Wells of @cotswoldbees who supply us with honeycomb. Honey goes very well with cheese, especially creamy blue cheese and Chris often does tastings. The company specialises in comb honey which is the most natural way of eating honey.

Our sainfoin & FarmED’s expert beekeeper @cotswoldbees both featured on @BBCCountryfile on Saturday, talking about the benefits of sainfoin as a resource for pollinators. It's also a nutritious, protein-rich, drought-tolerant forage crop

Unbelievable! A 2 page spread on getting rid of weeds including dandelions, brambles, clover, vetch, buttercup. All the things we welcome in our orchard for pollinators. I’m shocked @Telegraph (note: Not my paper, I don’t buy this!) @LGSpace @Kate_Bradbury @Bex_Cartwright

Bee Inspectors across the UK are reporting that many colonies look low on food reserves and are in need of food, especially those colonies where honey has been taken off and replacement food been given back. The sugar syrup... nationalbeeunit.com/index.cf…
