This honey cake recipe and method was heavily inspired by a Polish Honey Cake recipe that a good friend of mine often makes as a dessert.

It's a versatile honey cake that can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or served warm with some whipped cream or custard as a pudding. It's a delicious cake with notes of citrus zest, cinnamon and vanilla and finished off with a delightful sweet honey and nut topping...

This natural hay-fever remedy is quick and easy to make and it can provide relief from many of the symptoms of hay-fever. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and we recommend drinking twice a day for maximum effect...

Chicken thighs are an inexpensive and versatile meat that can be enjoyed as part of various meals. This easy and delicious roasted recipe will add bags of flavour to the chicken and will work equally as well as part of a full roast dinner, or a simpler meal with peas and chips. I always use bone-in, skin-on thighs for this recipe as I find they give the best flavour, moisture and texture...

There are really only two answers to the question how we can help save the bees; What we can do personally, as individuals, and what we can do collectively around the world.

There is some cross-over between the two answers, but it's understandable to feel that some of the bigger challenges are out of our hands. Thankfully there are others that do brilliant work on our behalf...

While we would be a little reluctant to use the word 'cure', the long history of honey being used to treat coughs and sore throats potentially dates back thousands of years. Many of us will remember our parents, grandparents and even great grandparents giving us honey and lemon drinks as children to sooth our sore throats and coughs. This knowledge and personal experience of using honey as a treatment seems to have been passed down from generation to generation...

Spring is finally here and so is the promise of some better weather here in the UK. That means it's time to plant those little packets of bee saving flower seeds we've been saving up over the autumn and winter!

I decided to use an old neglected barbecue garden (or Bee-B-Q as I've decided to called it!) as a starting point for my little bee-friendly garden. It's quite tatty and a little rusty but I don't think the bees will mind...

Can honey cure hay-fever? It's a topic that many experts, nutritionists and health professionals seem to disagree on. It's been a subject covered a lot in the media seemingly on a yearly basis, with discussions on high profile daytime television shows like ITV's 'This Morning'. Many YouTube videos have been made, some making dubious claims for financial gain and others based on the genuine positive experiences of ordinary people. So, what is the truth? Does honey help to cure hay fever?...

Bees are one of the most important species on the planet and if all the bees died the world would be a very different place. They are critical pollinators for many of the crop products we use daily.

A world without bees would be a place where supermarkets would struggle to fill the fruit and vegetable aisles and the products that we could find would likely only be available at a very high price. Items that are common and inexpensive now, would become luxury items...

Honey has been part of our everyday healthcare package for centuries and is widely know to have many health benefits. But does modern science really support this view?

In today's blog, we ask the expert: Dean Ashton, a qualified Nutritionist and Exercise expert and owner of Urban Reform, a personal training business in Manchester. We asked Dean, what are the benefits of honey and is there scientific evidence to support it? Here is what he had to say...
