Dear Loyal Patrons
I was invited to visit a local Hive in Prestwood where the local apiary Graeme showed me his 3000 strong Hive. It was my first time seeing such a magnificent natural phenomena of great beauty.
Graeme is a retired telecoms engineer and now dedicates his retirement to looking after a hive of bees and an allotment. He is very knowledgeable and I would compare him to be as knowledgeable as Stephen Hayes in his own right.
I struck up a friendship and working relationship with him and his partner, he ferments the honey for us and turns it into Mead, from which I bottle and sell at the Amersham and Great Missenden markets as part of Cooper's Markets.
Cheers!
Kind regards,
James
