Mother's Day March 10th!



Just a little reminder that Mothering Sunday-Mother's Day is on March 10th. Don't give her the same old flowers and chocolates like last year! We have a special English Wildflower Honey just for the occasion- 'Honey For My Mummy'. Show her that you care with a truly special gift. We also have a great range of honey cosmetics if you really want to pamper her.

TOP TIP- Baking Bread With Honey

Well you do learn something new every day. A customer called us today, John master bread baker, desperate to find unpasturised honey. He explained that when making sour dough bread the key is not to use supermarket honey because its been intense heated and that kills the natural yeasts in the honey that helps to preserve the breads freshness and lasting power!

He was delighted to find out we do not pasteurise our honeys and bought 3 different types to try. John, all of us here at The Hive Honey Shop hope to taste the results soon! Thanks for the useful tip and as promised we have passed it on- so get baking!
