This morning broke with a heavy dew, delicately painted by nature onto the thousands of cobwebs produced overnight by the industrious spiders. A real picture and delight to see!

The Largest Beehive in the world,. located at Wolds Way Lavender has just been completed!

The main request of its residents was that it should have an insulated roof. This has been achieved by constructing a green eco-freindly roof that has been planted with Camomille and Thyme plants.

The Hive stands tall above the acres of Wolds Way Lavender

The new residents of the hive have just been introduced. Our Bees at Wolds Way Lavender are looked after by Marcus Cordingly from Scampston Village. Marcus has around 250 hives around the area. He is seen here checking that the Queen and her family are settling in okay.

The display is another worthy addition to Wolds Way Lavender. We look forward to seeing you here. Will you have the bottle to step inside “The Largest Beehive in the World”?

At long last we have managed to start the 2007 Lavender Harvest. This is the first row of Lavender to be cut which is now being distilled to release the pure Lavender Essential oil from natures store!

Please note we are not affected by the recent flooding in the Yorkshire Area.
All the roads to ourselves and the surrounding areas of North Yorkshire are open including Pickering.
We are not near the worst affected areas which are in South Yorkshire.

Work is progressing on the building of what is probably the largest Beehive in the World!

If you think the Hive is big, wait until you see the Bees!!!

We have just taken delivery of our new uniforms for our outside staff. The previous cream coloured tops proved impractical when working outside on the plants or around the site.

We have gone for a more practical bottle green as elequently modeled here by Danny. Danny was so impressed with the new tops that before donning the gear, he insisted on a hair cut and a shave. So Mr & Mrs Vasey wot a fine young son you ave raisesd!

A mystery visitor has turned up in the nature ponds at Wolds Way Lavender. The Croc is around 5 feet long (1.6m) and is a snappy little thing so we have called her Winnie after my wife, who is also just over 5 feet long.

The first of the Lavenders are starting to flower for the 2007 season here at Wolds Way Lavender. It is two to three weeks ahead of last year. It should all be in flower by the end of June. Already the site is looking and smelling a picture.
