Whats happened?

Our bee shed went up in smoke yesterday (13/08/2016). We used it to store lots of our beekeeping equipment in, including spare beesuits, smokers, hive tools, honey supers and frames to name but a small amount. Luckily due to the time of the year some of our equipment was in use so it's not a total loss. Please can you help us replace what we have lost?

About Wildwing Honey

We have been keeping bees for 4 years and supplying our raw honey locally and nationally. We do this through our own online shop and local shops. We love keeping bees and benefiting the environment. We have big plans and dreams about what we want to do. We had recently started teaching children about bees (all the children's bee suits and wellies were also lost in the fire). Our honey is soon to be featured in a locally brewed beer and we are always looking at reinventing how the honey from our bees gets used. We have been featured on BBC Esssex radio twice and play an ective part on our local divisional beekeeping comittee training new beekeepers, directing the reach of the division and promotinig local honey and beekeeping throughout Chelmsford.
