Turned down a request from a national supermarket chain today to have them sell our honey regionally, told them it would harm our existing stockists who are all small businesses - thanks but no thanks x

Sadly we’ve had a serious loss of colonies and hives today due to the biblical conditions, I tried so hard to save them but could not when conditions became too deep and risky, I am truly guttered 🙁

I’ve not told anyone this but we ‘The Sheffield Honey Company’ are 10 years old this month, we launched in June 2010 at Sheffield’s first ever food festival - 10 years ago!! Huge thanks to our customers, our stockists and our family for the support and sacrifices they have made x

Complete destruction, everything wiped off the map - 20 full colonies with honey crop, 5 full nucs, absolutely guttered, a lot of bees perished here as well as the financial loss ☹️

Just driving past a very popular parking spot up on the Strines Rd, 4 family cars parked up socialising, this one f***er throws an empty can into the bracken as I go past - I slammed my brakes on, reversed back and tore the b****ock off him - had the whole family looking 4 it 😡

By the way every single jar of honey we deliver is ‘Limited Edition’, each jar is a one off, it’s a moment in time, it’s a snapshot of nature that can never ever be repeated 👍 that’s our honey in a nutshell 🍯

Thanks for all the nice comments, still in shock - was up to my waist in freezing cold river water clinging on to hives as they floated off their stands, I tried in vain to save them but had to retreat due to risk to myself - I’ll never forget yesterday

One of our honeybees today, Dear local councils - please try and schedule your grass cutting to just before UK dandelions come into flower - this makes a massive difference to them providing nectar and pollen for native bee species

So this is the end result, I can’t post pics of the injury as it’s too gruesome - bad burn, I won’t say how, it’s beekeeping related and was a scary experience - importantly I’m going to be ok, 10 years in this job and yet another painful lesson 👍 thanks for kind words x

Huge volume of businesses now moaning and complaining about the reality of Johnson’s Brexit? Where were you all during the last 5 years? Some of us put our brands and livelihoods on the line trying to keep the EU deal we used to have - I don’t recall hearing your voices in 2016😡

This is what EFB looks like at the end of the day, it’s down to irresponsible and aggressive swarm collecting, buying nucs from known or high risk EFB areas, I’d like to thank those responsible for costing us a small fortune 👍

We get asked all the time why can’t I buy your honey jars direct and online, there are a few reasons we don’t sell jars online but the main reason is that we want to support local retailers and not bypass them - old fashioned maybe, but important to us 👍

We're pleased to report a record blossom honey crop for 2017, dont believe all the fake stories about a honey shortage in the UK, people, companies and organisations are deliberately driving prices up and to then justify charity begging - the UK honeybee is doing just fine

Top tip, if your ever under attack from wasps or honey bees simply head for bushes or over hanging trees and walk through the thickest parts - you will lose all those attacking you very quickly 👍🐝
