Run up to Christmas

I'm hating this weather at the moment. All I ever seem to do is worry that my beehives have blown over all the time, it's getting on my nerves. I hope the gale force wind will have stopped by the 19th as it's Chester Christmas market again for me. It's a whole week this time and during the run up to Christmas so fingers crossed it should be good, if the weather holds off!! Also looking into getting an observation hive for food festivals and stalls next year to grab even more peoples attention. Anyone got any tips on how to use one?? Could get nasty if they escaped in the middle of a food festival!!!

A taste of heaven.....

Been keeping an eye on the hives with all the high winds around at the moment. They are still going out on nice days, bringing back pollen. Is amazing to think it's December and they are still working. Don't know if that says more about the bees or the weather!!! Talking to some other bee keepers recently, they have had to start feeding candy to their colonies as they are so busy. Slaving over a hot oven again today with the honey buns and honey and oat cookies for the Bellis Brothers, Wrexham tasting session on Saturday 9th December. Will be some free tasting of my lovely Hilltop Honey if you fancy coming to see us.......Also the packages have started to arrive to make up some hamper baskets. Haven't got all the stock yet so they won't be ready until I am back up to Chester Victorian Market on 19th - 24th December. Come and see how marvellous they look on our stall then. They will make fantastic Christmas presents......

Chester Victorian Market

Wow...Chester Victorian Market is a busy place! We are there for the next few days so come and see us for a free taste and to buy some yummy 100% pure British honey. I have a hive there with some drawn out frames too if you fancy a closer look (obviously minus the bees!!). Don't forget that hilltop honey makes a fantastic Christmas present for the pure honey aficionados out there. I haven't managed to do any more baking though as too busy selling hilltop honey in my little decorated cabin. Had the scouts out yesterday for some Christmas decorations to adorn the inside of my cabin as this was arranged extremely last minute!!! Have a lovely assortment of lights and decs now so should be looking very Christmassy now! So come on down and have a look! And if you do, let me know you follow me on the blog. I would love to meet some of my followers!!
