Podcast Episode 4 is Live 🎙️ 

A little bit later than usual… but we were busy and one of us had a bit of man flu 🤣 , but we are back with episode 4, which has a little bit of everything.

We visit a local artisan market, the Sky Garden (yes, theres an actual garden on the top of Golden Square car park), and we talk to Scott, who runs an honesty box where he sells his own honey.

You can listen to it by clicking here (links to all your favourite podcast apps), or we have embedded it for you below.

Crafty Bee’s Honesty Box 🐝 

I went over to Burtonwood this week to check out an honesty box called CraftyBees, based on Lumber Lane in Burtonwood (WA5 4AR). They sell local honey, chilli honey, and other bee-themed products.

The honey is great, and the setup is simple but brilliant. I like sharing things like this on The Scoop because we cover a bit of everything. I spoke to Scott on the podcast about how it’s all made, so have a listen if you want to hear the story behind it.

I picked up some of the wildfire hot honey, and it goes great with cheese and crackers, and works great as a dipping sauce for pizza 🍕
