Hi everyone, I'm taking the difficult decision to put Beeloved Gifts into hibernation for now. With increasing costs and difficulty sourcing products that are in line with the Beeloved ethos it's the right thing for now.

Thanks for all your support and general loveliness!

S is for Swarm!

A word we may be familiar with but have you ever wondered why it happens? A swarm is mass of bees that has left the hive and are seeking a new home. They do this to split their colony as it may have been overcrowded or as there is a new queen.

Honeycomb is a 'raw honey' as nothing is added, taken away or heated.
