I recently had the pleasure of spending a morning over at Harthill Cottage near St Briavels, you may remember that I recently announced that Harthill Honey are our new honey suppliers for our handmade soaps.  The honey is gorgeous and so the Buzz Bar was created.

Well WyeDean Deli liked our new collaboration so much that they decided to write a piece about us joining forces. They sent along David Broadbent from David Broadbent photography to take some pictures of us with the bee hives (ok it was my idea using the hives but I thought the bees would be asleep by now – they weren’t!!)

It was a nice morning and the weather was kind to us, the bees were buzzing around, did you know they only live for between 6 weeks and 6 months! David took some fabulous pictures of us with the hives and the soap bars and I sneakily took a few of David working!

I am hoping this won’t be our last collaboration with another local supplier , in fact I may already have something in the pipeline, watch this space……
