DIARY OF A BEEKEEPER

I felt the need to write this particular article - explaining my personal preference and methodology to treat my bees, ensuring that my hives thrive, season after season, year after year.

This blog may ruffle a few feathers - in particular ‘The Guild’. However, the point of writing this is not to throw shade at anyone. Truthfully, I appreciate what they represent and the prestige they hold in the food industry. It took them time and dedication to build an influential platform that essentially helps small businesses like mine, scream and shout about how good their products are. However, I need food lovers and producers to hear this: winning (or not winning) this award does not define you or your product’s worth. Not even a little.

Different flowers evoke different feelings and memories. Red roses resonate with feelings of romance, the fragrance of lavender sedates me with feelings of calm and daisies carry associations of being playful and joyous.

Humanity is coming together. I hope after this time has passed, we continue to look after Her and each other. The Sun, The Moon and The Earth will all shine again together.
