Please stop DMs. I don’t need to tell you my age, where I am, or how my day is going. It’s weird and creepy.

30 jars of Boo’s Bees raw honey fill the photograph. This is the best honey I’ve ever tasted.
A photo of a red and pink sunrise. With a white farmhouse at the top of an icy path.
Three bees wax candles. 2 in the shape of fairy houses and the other has a honey comb pattern
My woodland Apiary with 17 hives sitting on wooden tables. The leaves are brown and carpets the woodland floor. On the horizon the morning sun slowly rises to greet them. Happy new year

A furry honey bee sitting on top of a poly hive. With an orange/brown background.
A honey bee sitting on a shiny holly berry with snow falling in the background and light shining through her wings.
A black and white photo of myself with my head on a cushion with a bumble bee embroidered onto it. I’ve got shoulder length blonde, brown and grey hair and wear glasses.
A close up of a frame of capped honey bee brood. In the middle there is a female bee just emerging.
A frame of bees during spring inspections. It’s laid beautifully by their Queen. With capped brood in the middle, then nectar, bee bread and capped honey around it. It looks like a bee rainbow. This is perfection for beekeepers. All is well in this hive.
This is me in my beige bee suit gently scooping up bees with my hands. They have swarmed into a tree. There’s probably around 20,000 bees all huddled together looking for a new home
It’s me in my bee suit and rubber boots but I am also wearing a back brace. I’m posing sarcastically like a glamorous model. I’m anything but - I’m just a middle aged beekeeper! The picture is in black and white. In the background you can see my kitchen.
A small craft fair table selling honey and beeswax candles. The table cloth is green, there’s bee bunting along the front and a handmade wooden sign that looks like a bee hive with “Local Honey For Sale Here”. I sit behind the table wearing mustard dungarees covered in bees.
A frame of pollen from one of my hives. Each cell has a different colour of pollen. There’s green, purple, orange, red, so many different shades. It looks like a stained glass window.
Worker bees are busying around a queen bee larvae. The larvae is sat in a queen cup with white royal jelly. She looks like a long grain of pearl white rice.
A fury honey bee sits on my hand. She is drinking a droplet of sugar water. This is to give her the energy to fly back home to her hive, she got caught out by winters changing temperatures. She is ever so cute, with her massive black eyes cautiously looking around. She drinks the sugar water using her tongue which is pretty much like a big drinking straw.
Old faded brown boot that’s definitely seen better days. The leather is faded and crispy.
This is a picture of me, I’m Vicki a middle aged lady in a full bee suit. It’s beige coloured. There’s hives in the background which are pale blue. Some are individually painted with flowers, hearts and fruit. I’m not a great painter but I try my best. I like to make my bees feel at home.
A large queen honey bee with her attendants sitting on a honey frame. The sun glistens on their wings.
