These early sources of food are so important to our pollinators 🐝💕

As Dandelions start to flower, please remember they are a valuable early food source for honey bees and other pollinators.
Think of them as a plant and not a w**d.

I'll be at this local makers market on Saturday, along with some very talented crafters and makers. Ideal if you're looking for a handmade gift for mother's day 💕

If you love my hot honey and are looking for recipes, try this Hot Honey lHalloumi Pasta recipe. If you use hot honey instead of honey and chili flakes, I've already done the first step for you! 😊 Choose from mild, medium or hot 🔥🍝🍯😋

Today work begins on rendering and cleaning this pile of wax, donated by local beekeepers, for an exciting project at Exeter cathedral. I need to turn this messy wax into clean, filtered beeswax ready for an art installation in late spring. Watch this space... 😊🐝

🎄**Thank You for an Incredible Year!** 🎉

It's a wrap! (pun intended) 😊. I've just finished my last Christmas fair of the year. I still have some orders and gift boxes to deliver, and I'll be "working" until Xmas eve so I'm still available for a few more days before taking a well earned break 🎄🎁🎅

As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank all of my amazing customers for your continued support. After a difficult and emotional start to the year for me, you’ve made this year truly special.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with joy, health, and success. Here’s to a brighter 2025 together!

Warm wishes,
Caroline ✨

What a great location for today's Eat Festival in Taunton! I'm really enjoying watching the peregrine falcons which nest in the church tower, circling in the sky around the stalls 🦅

I'm sorry I can't make it to the Thorverton mini market tomorrow, but Donna has kindly offered to have some honey on the raffle table so you can collect it from her. If you want anything else, she will have my contact details so please just call or text, or message me via Facebook, and I'll arrange to deliver in plenty of time for Christmas. Here's a reminder of my products.

More lovely lip balms in the making... 💋

I am delighted that, in addition to all the lovely crafts on sale at The Craft Cellar at the Quay in Exeter, they are now also selling my honey, lip balms, a selection of soaps, and my beehive and rolled candles. This is a hidden gem and well worth a visit for some lovely handmade gifts and cards 🎁
