Imy and her bees

01/09/2025

Wild comb is nature’s own masterpiece, crafted entirely by honey bees without human guidance. From their tiny wax glands, worker bees spin shimmering sheets of pure beeswax, weaving perfect hexagons in flowing, organic shapes that bend and curl to fit their secret refuge—be it a hollow tree, a quiet attic, or a rocky crevice. Bathed in the golden glow of stored honey and the hum of life within, each cell cradles the colony’s treasures: rich nectar, pollen dusted with the colours of flowers, and the next generation of bees. Fragile yet enduring, wild comb is living architecture—an untamed expression of the bees’ ancient artistry.

With swarm season happening, don’t forget to let me know when you find one! I’m happy to travel within a 30 minute radius of Yeovil, Sherborne and Castle Carey. I’ll come pick up the girls and offer them the best possible home I can! 🐝❤️

Today, my heart is broken. It hurts when you lose a colony, but when they die because someone has sprayed chemicals, it hurts even more. It’s not only honey bees that will die from the chemicals. It’s all the other bees too, from the solitaries to the bumbles. I spoke to the farmer whose field they were in, and he said the field next door (not his) had most likely been sprayed with a w**d killer (I won’t say the name). It’s commonly used in farming and in gardens. It’s publicised to be ‘bee friendly’!! You think you’re only killing w**ds, but you’re killing everything 💔 The farmer phoned another beekeeper (roughly a mile away), and all 5 of her colonies have died too. Bees will fly within a 3-5 mile radius, so this field was very much in their reach. This particular treatment contains glyphosate, which is the killer. The UK currently has an expiry date for it, being December 2025… The UK government could choose to renew it!

I have gone and created a TikTok account for the bees! - have a look at my link tree and you can find the link there 🥰🐝 The video is one I have posted before, but used TikTok to create a slight voice over!
-
I have also had a phone call a couple of days ago from a gentleman that has found an exposed bee colony! I’ll be visiting them soon to see if I can help. Keep your eyes peeled!
-
I am also working on getting all my candles online & available for ordering! So many things in the works…
-
Love to all from myself and the girls 🐝❤️
