Winter has arrived at the Farm!

Beekeeping is not just seasonal work; it is a year-round job.

At Rookery Farm, we are working all year round to ensure our bees are as happy as they can be

Through colder months, our colonies are carefully managed to boost their health and resilience. As temperatures rise in the spring, the hive becomes increasingly active, with worker bees foraging across the surrounding landscape, sometimes travelling miles in a single day!

By early summer, the hives are at full strength. This is when we begin to see the distinct characteristics of each harvest emerge.
