Well our lovely Doonbank Cottage bees have been working so hard over the spring, that they have kindly agreed to share some of their lovely honey with us. We are just extracting and filtering it now, so it won't be long before we can announce our spring sales.

This year's crop is better than ever with some lovely hints of sycamore, chestnut and hawthorn.

Did you know that it takes a single bee its whole life to make just one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey. So when you're enjoying your honey, please thank you to any bees in your garden :)

I know rabbits are common as muck, but I still get lots of enjoyment watching them, even if they are eating the garden plants - and certainly a break from the lunacy of what's happening in Trump's little mind!

First, steal your prune. Second, bury it for later. Thirdly, come back for a light snack on porridge oats whilst watching me - and TV!!!

Well a lovely, sunny and warm day at Doonbank and the bees, after a long winter are making the most of it. Thank you if you have early flowering bulbs, like crocus and snowdrops as this provides welcome food for the bees.

Oh, well thank you very much and thank you to guests for their kind reviews.
