Natural Honey.

Our natural honey comes from our Beekeepers project which aims to promote beekeeping as a viable alternative source of income and foster a conservation culture.  Harvesting practices do not involve burning the hives to reach the honey, a method that kills the bees and destroys the surrounding vegetation.

 

Bees often gather nectar exclusively from particular seasonal flowers, giving the honey distinctive characteristics.  Commercially most companies blend different varieties to create a generic honey.  Our Natural Honey range on the other hand are unblended so you can savour the unique pure natural flavours .  Enjoy!

Some Creatures like ants and bees live in civil societies. In hills of hives thousands stay but none gets in the others’ way

The Government of the honey Bee Is Matriarchal Monarchy  A few males (or drones) between the working class, and the Queen

Worker bees are all employed with no time to relax if they’re not making honey they are busy making wax!

They use the wax to build their homes The hive, with all its honey combs A nursery and a Royal Suite Makes the Waxen town complete.

Bees are perfect by instinct God knows how their minds are linked when the wonder hive is done Each room’s perfect hexagon.

One rood is just enough to store A drop or two\, and not much more and when one day a cell is full it’s sealed with wax, and that’s a rule.

Honey, and a pinch of pollen (Also stored in cells anon) The mixture is the regimen that baby bees are bred upon.

Infant bees, large and small Larvae, pupae, cousins all Each  a private cell Fed and groomed and growing well

Bees must feed the Queen and brood with stuff that only they exude and with that food they can command Every infant’s career plan.

A few will grow up as Drones Complete with all the mal hormones the are ones who’ll later try to help a princess multiply.

And one, just one, if at all In the cell amidst the din the princess who’ll be later crowned Her Majesty the Second Queen.

Bees are all a gutsy lot Each one a tiny patriot “we’re not afraid to lay down our lives to serve, and to protect our Hive”

Flowers and bees re best of friends Each on the other depends The sweet sap hat the flowers ooze an offer the bees just can’t refuse.

While flower and bee like newly weds Romance, the pollen spreads By and by that contributes To flowers bearing better fruits.

Seasons blossom, and then go by Wildflower, Sunflower, Lichee, Rye, We name the honey after its source The Bees could not care less, of course

“Hives sweet hive” hums the bee “So proud of our industry more honey than we’ll ever need If you like, it’s yours for free….”
