How Brymbo honey is processed and packaged into jars

Volunteers from the Brymbo Bee Group recently harvested honey at Stori Brymbo, a heritage site in Wrexham, where they processed honey from hives located at the former Brymbo Steelworks. The group gathered at the Machine Shop to transfer honey from hive to jar.

Before bringing the hive boxes indoors, volunteers ensured that the honey frames were bee-free, although one bee managed to hitch a ride and was later released outside. Once inside, they removed the honey-filled frames and scraped off the wax cappings sealing the honeycomb cells.
