Honey & Beeswax

After watching a beekeeping demonstration at Cheshire show in 2007, Rachel booked to go on a beekeeping course and has never looked back.  It was a theory course over the winter at Dialstone College in Stockport with a practical session over the summer months. Soon a colony of bees was added to Olive Mount Farm and the following year another queen was purchased. That year we harvested 180 jars of honey. Rachel has since been on a queen rearing course at Heaton Park which is something to look forward to in the future.

We now have 5 colonies of bees at the farm which are consistently producing a very pale delicious wildflower honey in September, much of which they harvest from the Himalayan Balsam plant which is plentiful around us. We have a large amount of mixed deciduous trees around the property and an orchard, in which the apiary is sited, all of which supply pollen and nectar to the bees for much of the year.
