PODCAST EPISODE 3: Nicholas Bishop from the London

PODCAST EPISODE 3: Nicholas Bishop from the London Honey Company
As many of you know, I spent a month or two travelling in Europe a couple of years ago now, and it was a divine experience. With the purpose of seeking out small honey producers in a number of beautiful locations across the European continent, I was lucky enough to bask in the northern sun, eat delicious homemade meals, get dirty in the fields with some amazing keepers, and buy and try local honey from farmers markets. It was heaven, that’s for sure. And it was on this trip that I was lucky enough to meet the passionate Nicholas Bishop from the London Honey Company, who I am delighted to introduce to the Ben’s Bees community in Episode Three of the BEES WITH BEN podcast.
Nicholas Bishop is the Commercial Director of the London Honey Company, who are purveyors of the finest honey, honeycomb, handmade 100% beeswax candles and 100% British mead based in Voyager Business Park, Spa Road, London. With over 20 years of beekeeping experience, the London Honey Company stocks their delicious and high-quality produce in shops, food halls, restaurants and hotels across the UK, as well as selling from their gorgeous online store. A much-loved company, chefs and foodies are head over heels with their produce, as are some of the finest institutions in Britian – in fact, the London Honey Company are the proud beekeepers of the Tate Galleries in London and the Victoria and Albert Museum! Incredible stuff!
When I met Nicholas, I was struck by his passion and work ethic, yet despite being super busy, he generously gave me a wonderful tour of the London Honey Company facility. This space was new, as they had recently moved in due to growth in their business; the London Honey Company continues to forge ahead due to their sophisticated beekeeping work and honey production skills. Last year that we met again at the Apimondia conference in Toronto where we were both giving talks. A wealth of knowledge and a lovely bloke, I was thrilled when Nicholas said he’d be more than happy to chat with me about honey types in London and the UK, in particular heather honey varieties.

World Bee Day 2020: Celebrating Bees in Isolation

World Bee Day 2020: Celebrating Bees in Isolation
Some people love Christmas. Others get a real kick out of birthdays. But there is another day of the year that I am most excited about celebrating, and it’s just around the corner. World Bee Day is the 20th of May 2020! A day to celebrate why bees are so important and to shine a light on all the miraculous things bees do to help us and our planet. World Bee Day was set up by the United Nations to raise awareness of these vital pollinators, highlighting the threats bees face daily and singing them praise for their incredible contribution to sustainable development. The UN chose the 20th of May as it was the birthday of 18th-century Slovenian pioneer of modern beekeeping, Anton Janša, who “praised the bees for their ability to work so hard, while needing so little attention”. World Bee Day is celebrated all over the globe through amazing events run by the bee-loving community; however, due to the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, most World Bee Day activities have been cancelled this year or at least altered to comply with social distancing regulations. This made me want to reach out to you, the Ben’s Bees Community, as my heart breaks to think that our favourite fuzzy friends might go unnoticed in 2020! The show must go on, and here are some tips for celebrating World Bee Day from the comfort of your own city, suburb, or town.
Get to work planting a bee-friendly garden; there has never been a better time to make your backyard a sanctuary for both you and the bees. Throw some dollars in the pocket of your local beekeeper and buy raw honey from a small, ethical producer. Set up a water fountain so the bees have somewhere to drink when they are thirsty. Throw out nasty pesticides, fungicides and herbicides if you can. And explain to kids that bees are the ones out there pollinating the crops that fill their plates and tummies at night. Bless the bees this World Bee Day and keep an eye out on Ben’s Bees social media for more bee-loving celebrations this week. Love Ben x

Bees with Ben: A Podcast for Bee Lovers Any of yo

Bees with Ben: A Podcast for Bee Lovers
Any of you that know me know, I love a good yarn! Whether it’s in my suburban street, down at the farmers market, rescuing an unruly bee colony, on stage at an apiary conference, or just at the dinner table, I am full of ideas about this, that and the other thing. One the of the best aspects of my job is getting out and about with local people, sharing the knowledge I have about bees, the environment, produce, gardening and healthy living. Therefore, it might not surprise you that the idea of starting a podcast has been bubbling away for some time, and this week I am super-duper happy to announce that I have gone live on the radio (well, podcast) waves, to bring you BEES WITH BEN– a podcast of stories, tips, and expertise about bees, food, the environment and good living.
With years of experience getting on my soapbox, I feel pretty fit for the world of podcasting! I have been a representative at local and international conferences. I have appeared on popular TV and radio programs (including The Project, ABC radio, Network Ten News, and Channel Nine’s reality show, Dream Job). I have launched educational programs at schools and community spaces. I have travelled just to spend time with other beekeepers and learn their craft. I am also a big chatter box in the Melbourne community, and love to get out and about meeting other keepers and local businesspeople. For all of these reasons, I am beyond excited to bring you BEES WITH BEN – a regular podcast where I interview people from the Ben’s Bees community so that you too can see how brilliant local folks are at getting amazing things done using passion, hard work and will power. Even more exciting is that this podcast will follow me wherever I go, so I am keen in the future to introduce you to my heroes and friends overseas as well.
Check out the BEES WITH BEN podcast via Anchor podcasts where you will find Episode Zero – the first of many – where I say hello and have a chat about myself mainly to get the ball rolling for the many amazing guests I have lined up to chat with you, my bee community. Stay tuned for updates! https://anchor.fm/ben-the-beeman Happy listening! x

Mother’s Day always gets me thinking about how I

Mother’s Day always gets me thinking about how I came to be on this incredible planet, and the amazing woman who brought me into the world-- my mum, Lesley!
You see, Lesley is tough. She arrived in Australia as a Ten Pound Pom: a British citizen that migrated here after the Second World War through the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme. Ten Pound Poms were called this as they only had to pay £10 in processing fees to migrate, and the Commonwealth arranged for their travel on chartered ships and planes. Moving across the world to a new home isn’t easy, and there’s no doubt that my mum showed her strength by packing up and making such a big change. Over the past 41 years, I have known her to be tenacious, not to mention kind, generous and a wonderful grandmother to my three kids. She is also incredibly hard working and helps me make Ben’s Bees candles and embed wax into frames for hives.
But having a baby wasn’t that easy for my mum. Over thirteen years, and two different husbands, my mum tried to get pregnant to no success. Nowadays, Lesley would have been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome-- a common issue among many women-- but in the 1960s there wasn’t the same understanding or knowledge about this condition. But due to her intense desire to be a mother, she decided to take part in a government health program for infertility that involved a human pituitary treatment. In a life-changing win for my mum, dad and (of course) me, the treatment was successful, and I was one of the 2000 babies produced through this test tube, or in vitro, fertilisation process. Happy Mother’s Day Maa x
