And then there's the lavender rose batch we've just made. The scent is absolutely incredible. Summer soap making means we can add essential oils and let the warmth help them blend beautifully. This one smells like a garden in full bloom. Once it's poured and set, it'll cure for weeks before it's ready to use. Worth every second of waiting.

This is where patience meets chemistry. As we blend the lye and oils together, the mixture slowly thickens. We're looking for that perfect pancake batter consistency. It takes time. You can't rush it. The mixture gets thicker and thicker until it reaches trace, that moment when it's ready to pour into the mould.

Now comes the magic moment. We add the lye to water, never the other way around. The mixture heats up as the chemical re...

Now comes the magic moment. We add the lye to water, never the other way around. The mixture heats up as the chemical reaction happens. This is where you need respect for what you're doing and careful attention. Once added to the oils and it reaches trace at the right consistency the real transformation begins.

Summer is the perfect time to make soap. Temperature control is everything when you're mixing oils and lye, and summer heat means we can work with the natural warmth rather than fighting against it. We start by carefully measuring out our oils, beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil. Everything has to be precise.

And finally, into the jar it goes. This is the moment we've been waiting for. Pure, raw, local honey from your postcode, bottled fresh. Whether it's Sale citrus, Urmston caramel, or Altrincham wildflower, each jar tells the story of what the bees have been visiting. From frame to jar in a few days. That's the Manchester Honey difference.

Once the honey is spun out, it still needs a bit of love. We pass it through a sieve to catch any large wax flakes and debris. This is where patience comes in. The honey flows through slowly and we're left with pure, clean honey ready for jarring. No filters, no processing, just honey as nature intended with a quick tidy up.

Now comes the magic. The uncapped frames go into our spinner and centrifugal force does the work. The honey is flung out of the cells and collects at the bottom of the extractor. It's mesmerizing to watch and honestly one of our favourite parts of the whole process. Spin, spin, spin and out comes the honey.

Extraction day is coming soon. First step is uncapping the frames. The bees seal their honey with wax cappings to keep it fresh, so we carefully lift these off with a honey fork. It's a bit like opening a present, except the present is liquid gold and we're trying not to waste a drop. The uncapped frames go straight into the spinner.

We leave plenty of honey in our hives. Not because we're being generous, but because it's what the bees need to survive.

Honey isn't just food. It's complete nutrition. It's got everything a bee colony needs to get through the hard months - carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, enzymes. When a bee eats honey, it's eating real, whole food that it made itself.

Sugar water is... well, it's sugar and water. It keeps them alive in the short term, but it's not the same. It doesn't have the nutrients. It doesn't have the enzymes. It's like living on fizzy drinks instead of proper meals.

When we harvest honey, we take what we need and leave what the bees need. It means we produce less, we sell less, we make less money. But our bees are strong. They survive the heat. They survive the winter. They thrive.

That's why our honey tastes so good. Because the bees that made it were properly fed, not just kept alive on emergency rations.
