We love it when you show us progress pictures of the plants you got from us 🥰
Thank you Helen Hamilton for the lovely message and photo of one of our Salvia plants 💙. The sky blue colour is lovely beside your door.....and look how much it's grown already. Hopefully it's attracting the bees too 🐝
We have a few of this plant available on a reduced price atm. Absolutely brilliant space filling cottage garden vibe plant, that can go in a pot, or in the ground 🌸

🐝 Lets Build A Hive 🐝
Our bees are loving this sunny weather, after such a miserable Spring ☀️
They are cracking on making lots of delicious summer honey now, foraging on all the lovely summer flowers and trees 🌸🌳
Busy bees means our hives needed more space and we've added more "supers" (the boxes our bees store honey in) to our hives, giving our bees the space they need.
When we add new supers our bees have lots of work to do before they can start storing honey. Each super starts with 11 wooden frames, which have a thin layer of "foundation" (a thin sheet of wax, mimicking the cell shape of honeycomb). Our bees then build this out into full honeycomb and make it wide enough to store honey 🍯.
This video shows you a frame of foundation that our bees built out from a thin sheet of foundation to thick honeycomb in an incredible 2 days. They have worked very fast and almost have it complete 💪.
Aren't bees just so amazing, working non stop to make beautiful honey 🐝🍯
🐝 Summer Honey Progress 🐝
A wee look inside one of our hives, which is filling up well with delicious summer honey 🍯
What you are looking at here is the honey comb, this is what our bees fill with honey. Here's the interesting part ........when the bees bring nectar to the hive to make honey it's the consistency of water. The bees fan this with their wings to reduce the water content. This prevents fermentation and gives honey that beautiful thick consistency 🍯
Water content in honey needs to be c18% or less and we test every extraction for this 🧪
When the honey is ready the bees cap it with white wax, which you can see they are starting to do in this video.
They are loving this sunny weather and working their wee wings off 🐝🍯🥰

💋🌸 Salvia Hot Lips 🌸💋
The first of our beautiful Salvia Hot Lips plants have been dropped off at Wester Carmuirs Farm Produce, along with some of our pink African Daisy 🌸
If you haven't heard me rave on about this spectacular Salvia, let me tell you her story......
💋 produces vibrant red and white flowers, shaped like a wee white nose and red lips (hence the name)
🌸 flowers from June until way through Autum. Ours flowered until December last year
☀️ loves the sun
🐝 an absolute bee magnet
✂️ doesn't need too much fuss, some pruning will keep the flower production strong
🌱 will grown in pots, or in the ground and can be kept to a size that suits you, or left to reach her full size over 2 years (around 1m x 1m). A pic of her full size is at the end of the photos
❄️ hardy for our climate (H5 - will tolerate down to -15 degrees)
🌹 great to companion plant with roses to help prevent black spot
🌸 grown by us in Larbert, and looked after very carefully through each stage to make sure you have a robust plant to enjoy in your garden
Just a joy to have in the garden and her long flowering just knocks the socks off annual plants for value for money 💸
Our African Daisy is another beauty that flowers brilliantly through Autumn. Lower growing than the Salvia (c50cm) and spreads, making her a fantastic space filler 🌸
If you would like more information please message our page, or pop into Wester Carmuirs Farm Shop to have a wee look 👀🙏🥰
