🐝 Did you know we have an experience day on Easter Sunday? 😅

Yep, we were as shocked at our poor planning as you are. But anyhow, we're going ahead with it! The morning session is nearly full, but the afternoon still has space.

This will be one of our first ventures into the hive this year, so come join us for discovery—for us as much as for you! There's something special about opening the hives after winter and seeing what's been happening in there. You'll be part of that moment.

Afternoon spots available—link in comments to book 🍯✨

There is so much work to do to get ready for the beekeeping season and painting boxes and lids has been going on all winter. So while everyone else chills in front of the TV Gareth will be doing the same but with lots and lots of boxes being painted. If there are any art or community groups that would like to decorate a brood box for the bees drop us a message.

Ever wondered what REALLY goes on inside a beehive? 🐝

Gareth’s bright orange gloves aren’t just a fashion statement. They’re part of our hands-on, chemical-free beekeeping right here in South Manchester. From hive to jar, every frame is pure, raw honey—no shortcuts, no weird stuff.

Curious to see more of the magic (and maybe spot the queen bee in the background)? Pop by the shop or book an experience day. Taste the difference local makes!

The only way that you will get hold of real honey is to get it from real beekeepers. We only sell honey produced by our own bees so we know exactly where it has come from and that it is all real, raw local honey.

Ever tasted honey from your own postcode? 🍯

Each Manchester hive has its own delicious secret. What makes Sale sweet and Urmston a little wild? Only the bees know.

Pop by the shop or order online to find your local flavour. We’re Louise & Gareth—Manchester’s hobby beekeepers, making raw honey with a cheeky grin.

Which postcode are you buzzing for next? 🐝

We were so busy getting ready for the Brit awards that I didn't share this article in the Manchester Evening News. But better late than never....

🐝 For the most elite of those attending the BRITs this weekend, they will likely be greeted with a goody bag (or two) featuring a host of special gifts to commemorate their attendance at the event.

🛍️ Whilst we’ve already heard what’s inside one special goody bag worth £2,000, one local Manchester brand has also lapped up the spirit of gifting with their very own products that continue trophy designer Matthew Williamson’s amber toned resin homage to the worker bee.

The Manchester Honey Company, founded by Gareth and co-founder Louise, produce raw honey from hives across Greater Manchester and sell it by their postcode provenance 🙌

They said they are ‘thrilled’ to be chosen as one of the local companies being highlighted at the BRITs for its Manchester debut 🍯

We currently print our labels ourselves at home and it’s such a bottleneck so we’re thrilled that are helping us out with this much bigger print run

Went to Lostock Park in Stretford today with the dogs and these planters and the crocus behind certainly seem to think it is spring.
