Its December now and all the works been done to get
as many of our hives through the winter ahead.
The season has been one of producing more colonies at the expence
of the honey flow, so the next four months will be a testing time
for our colonies.
Tony Maggs started The Honey Pot back in
1990 at Markeaton Park Craft Village in Derby, UK, in the East
Midlands, to provide a link between beekeeping and the public.
The beekeepers come to buy all of their beekeeping equipment,
and the public come to buy their local honey and products of the
hive by our own bees.
All of the honey we sell comes from near by at our own apiaries
, so we sell direct to the customer.
The Honey Pot also does a few Farmers' Markets and Shows and has
a number of selected outlets near by to provide the customer with
a source of local honey produced from our own apiaries, reducing
food miles.
The honey produced by The Honey Pot uses traditional and ethical
methods with minimal stress to the honey bees. The quality of
local honey is down to the care of the beekeeper.
Local Honey is nature's direct health food, do not confuse or
compare local honey with the majority of honey available in the
shops, this is imported and the methods used cannot be guaranteed.
Here in Britain, local honey will normally have the name of the
county on the label and the beekeepers name and address.
For more information about the benefits of Local Honey and how
it helps the Hay Fever and Asthma sufferers, go to the latest
news pages of March, April and May.
If you are having difficulties sourcing local honey near to where
you live, try your local Farmers' Market, health food shops, shows,
garden centres' or some times your local butcher stocks local
honey. If you are still having difficulties send me an e.mail
and I will try and point you in the right direction and I will
try and give you some contacts to try.
