Update from the farm

Hello, are all of you wishing for rain as much as I am? The bees have been busy in this hot weather gathering nectar. The wildflower garden is in full bloom and despite the hot weather is doing very well. For part of the day, they are fortunate to have some shade to protect them from the heat. We have an amazing activity planned for August 17th which is World Honey Bee Day. Check out our Instagram feed for the details.

I continue to manage the beehives located at The Willows Flower Farm + Market at 240 Blessington Road. It’s really satisfying to share my beekeeping passion with Matthew and Sarah. As their skills develop, they will eventually be able to care for them on their own. The colonies there are booming and we have already bottled about 10 cases of wonderful wildflower honey. The colonies were new last year, so this is their first honey crop.

Our new crop honey is in our shop and also in our self serve cupboard on our porch. Our little shop can be open anytime by appointment. Most days we are open by chance and usually on Saturdays between 10-4 pm.

We hope to see you soon!

Bee Happy

Sincerely

Frances
