I am a small scale beekeeper based in the Cotswolds producing single origin honey. My bees are kept in top bar warré hives which allow them to build new wild comb each year, which is good for their health and produces great wax for candles. Here in Gloucestershire, the bees forage mainly on hawthorn and oilseed rape in the spring followed by blackberry and lime in the summer with the occasional ivy crop in late autumn.
I produce pressed honey, that is honey that has been squeezed out of the combs rather than spun out, as is conventional. Pollen is stored in the combs alongside the honey and so by pressing the combs the resulting honey has a higher pollen content.
