Humble Bee Blog News updates, offers and special promotions from Humble Bee Farm Holiday Accommodation. http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php Harvest time is nearly here! http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=61
With the glorious weather we’ve had lately, we can’t wait to welcome everyone to our caravan and campsite, wigwams and cottages, not forgetting our lovely holiday apartment in Filey!

Now the agricultural show season is in full swing: Farmer Percy and wife Julia visited the Great Yorkshire Show, while Farmer Percy has also had his judging ‘hat’ on this week when he judged cattle in a cattle ring. Agricultural shows are a chance for everyone to see how hard the industry works, while at the same time offering people the chance to meet up with fellow farmers and enjoy the summer weather.

The combine harvester has been just been serviced and is ready to use as the harvest season approaches. The golden fields are beckoning, the combine is now ready – Farmer Percy is in for a busy time!

Here at Humble Bee Farm, we are very lucky to have incredible countryside and beautiful villages surrounding us. So we were delighted when the judges from the Best Kept Village competition visited us last week. They were very impressed by the farm, including our hanging baskets, flower borders and the general layout of Humble Bee itself. So who knows, we could be entered as part of the Best Kept Village competition – watch this space.

The children staying at the farm have been busy collecting eggs for their breakfast - our hens, being free range, lay them just about anywhere, so it's great fun to 'hunt the egg' - even the grown-ups enjoy it!

Finally, we’d like to thank Richard, Rose and family for this lovely comment after their stay with us earlier this month: “We have just had a lovely weekend at the camp site. The site is really clean and modern and really well laid out. The play area was great and again modern and safe. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable, we certainly intend on visiting again soon.”

Let’s hope everyone who stays at Humble Bee Farm has as good a time as Richard and Rose. Thanks also to Kevin Groocock for another lovely bird photograph - this time a corn bunting.

The new shower block is a real asset to the business, being so handy for our campsite guests. As we are getting a number of first time campers, this new facility is great for them as it has fridge, microwave and washing up area, along with spacious shower cubicles. We’ve had lots of positive comments about it.

We also got a mention in a national newspaper! The Daily Mail ran an article in their Femail section and we were listed under the title of ‘Find a perfect pitch’, stating: ‘Wonderful for families with younger children, this farm has pigs, sheep and cows and eggs to be collected from the chicken house. All pitches – on a small quarter-acre field, include electrical hookup and there are very clean showers and toilets on-site.’ Thanks to this feature, we had some bookings and one of them who saw the article not only booked with us but sent us a copy of the article.

Down on the farm, harvest time is nearly upon us – doesn’t time fly? There is a saying that when the harvest is ready to combine, go for a week’s holiday! Well, Farmer Percy and his wife, Julia, went to Scotland to do some fishing, so the old adage does seem to be true.

Talking of harvest and crops, our last load of wheat has been sold to a local pig farm to make way for the new, forthcoming harvest. All the wild oats have been pulled out of the corn in readiness for this year’s bout of combine harvesting.

The school holidays are here (with our Scottish friends already ‘on vacation’), so we’ve got a busy time ahead. We look forward to welcoming you to Humble Bee Farm.]]>
Spot and Molly taking it easy http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=59 The Bullerwell Family http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=58 Midsummer at Humble Bee Farm http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=57 We have also had the pleasure of the Bullerwell family’s company last week: their two young boys have thoroughly enjoyed their time with us, particularly sitting round the campfire enjoying the summer evenings. Regular visits to the shop has also been part of the routine. You can see them in our picture keeping warm near their camping pitch.
Our lovely Jack Russell pup, Molly, who has teeth as sharp as razors, has really been taken care of by Spot, one of our other adult Jack Russells. Molly’s arrival has given Spot a new lease of life, bringing out the maternal instinct in our loyal dog. Charlie, our third Jack Russell, has taken some adjusting with the new member of the Humble Bee Family.
We are getting very busy during both July and August, while we have been fortunate with some repeat bookings for 2011 at our St Kitts Holiday Apartment , overlooking Filey Bay.
Sadly, England are now out of the World Cup, but in support of the lads we did decorate our wheelbarrows with England flags.
The wildlife at Humble Bee Farm, though, has been oblivious to the World Cup hype: always in abundance, another of our regular visitors, Callista, has come up with a list of birds that can be spotted while on one of the many walks around the farm. Watch out for pewits, skylarks, oyster catchers, curlews, partridge, chaffinches, gold finches and pheasant.
As the solstice has now passed, we now wait for the fields to gradually turn golden yellow as the crops ripen, and before we know it, harvest time will be upon us. The glorious weather we’ve been having has certainly helped!

Wildlife at Humble Bee Farm http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=56 Thanks to Kevin Groocock, one of our regulars, for this wonderful image.
Keep reading our blog as we have many more wildlife pictures to show you.]]>
New family member for Humble Bee Farm http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=46 Molly is our eight-week-old Jack Russell puppy who has captured the hearts of everyone here at the farm.
We can’t wait to watch her grow up!
We did have a couple of teething problems with the new shower block, namely the supply of hot water.
Some of our water is supplied by solar panels, so at busy times demand outstripped supply. Now we have a gas boiler installed to help keep the hot water flowing!
So our new toilet and shower block is fully operational – and has been a great hit with our customers.
We’ve had some lovely comments from our customers, some of which you can read below. which we received by email. Thanks also to everyone who puts on positive comments on various websites – it’s very helpful to get feedback.
The Great Yorkshire Bike Ride took place on Saturday 5th June, a route which started at Wetherby and finished in Filey, not far from Humble Bee Farm.
A great weekend was had by all, while raising money for charity.
One of our regulars has been sending us some fabulous wildlife photos – keep logging onto Humble Bee’s blog to see some wonderful images.

Comments from our customers:

We are writing to you to say thank you for our lovely stay at your campsite earlier this month (May 2010). The campsite was lovely and one of the best that we have ever stayed at. Our children loved it! The fabulous play area along with the animals really made their day! For my husband and I - well we loved the fact that it was so quiet and the shower rooms and toilets were so clean. It felt like home from home.
The pitches were a great size, the onsite shop has everything that you would need and we really got the impression that you do as much as you can to make your guests as comfortable as possible.
Thank you again and we will see you soon. We have already booked our return visit and are bringing some of our friends with us this time!
The Fowlers

Just had to say thank you for a lovely holiday this spring bank 2010! Your camp site is lovely- great facilities, beautiful surroundings and because it's small it had a really friendly atmosphere as you started to recognise other campers after a few days. The kids loved it. And it was great to see a family working together on their business!- long may it continue! We'll definitely be coming back.

Welcome to our new facility http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=45 Loos for the ladies http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=44 New men's toilets http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=43 Shower block open! http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=42 completed shower and toilet block!

After months of planning and hard work, we now have the finished
‘product’ and our guests have certainly felt the benefit of these
superb facilities.

Well done to ‘the gang’, (pictured) who managed to get it finished in
time for this busy weekend!

The water for the shower block is heated via solar panels and our
water is drawn from our own bore hole, so we doing ‘our bit’ for the
environment. Our bore hole is 300m down into the ground, and the water
is clean and tested – good enough for bottling, we think!

At the start of the week, all the cattle were moved up to the Top Dale
where the grass is lush and green, helped by Percy, Percy’s dad,
Faith, Jacob and Julia, ‘the farmer’s wife’!

All the cow sheds, now vacant of course, have been thoroughly power
washed and disinfected ready for storing the harvest grain later in
the year.

The crops have enjoyed their first drop of rain for some weeks and
while we’ve had a bit of rain over the weekend, all our visitors are
having a great time as the sun keeps making an appearance.

All of our guests have arrived for the campsite, while our cottage
guests are all ‘repeat’ customers. The campsite has a lot of regulars
and friends of friends who’ve been to Humble Bee before.

The children are enjoying our farm animals – the pigs, Shetland
ponies, hens and Spot and Charlie, the Jack Russells.

Everyone has been able to enjoy the fantastic farm walks we have – all
in all,

Humble Bee is a great place to beeee!]]>

Farmer Percy has been very busy with preparing the crops, including spraying the barley and wheat for fungicides. He also drilled the wildlife strips (part of the Stewardship Scheme we take participate in) with sunflowers, kale and quinoa, all of which will all be used for bird cover. We are lucky enough to have lots of corn buntings, skylarks, partridge and pheasant, so by caring for our wildlife strips, these birds and other can hopefully thrive in their natural habitat.

Our Shetland ponies think that every day is Grand National Day – they keep galloping around their field at a pace. They met the suckler cows for the first time, but this does not put them off their racing antics!

Today is a big day for us with the new shower block: the cubicles should arrive, therefore getting us one step closer to completion – we are definitely on the last lap. The shower block will be such as asset to us once finished, offering all our guests good facilities here at Humble Bee Farm.

We are fortunate enough to be very busy of the forthcoming Spring Bank Holiday: our caravan pitches, campsite, wigwams, cottages and holiday apartment (in nearby Filey) are fully booked, so we are looking forward to greeting all our guests and hope the weather will be glorious.

Swallows http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=38 Marshmallows - and Swallows http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=37 Humble Bee Blog May 12th 2010 http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=36 We can’t wait for all our guests to meet the new Gloucester Old Spot pigs, Bubble and Squeak – they love to eat vegetables and fruit, including carrots, cabbage and potatoes, but can’t eat bread or biscuits – so they have a very healthy diet, really!
As well as welcoming Bubble and Squeak, we’re also the proud owners of three bulling heifers, all the way from Cockermouth in Cumbria, who will join our suckler herd as replacements for cattle that went to market a few weeks ago.
We’re also expecting the arrival of our new bull this week – more about that in our next blog!
Our crop of potatoes – Pentland Bells – have been planted at last. We grow these for McCains, who have their headquarters in nearby Cayton, and will be used for their chips. So you never know, next time you’re enjoying some a tasty meal with chips, they could have started their life on Humble Bee Farm!
The shower block is progressing well, with the altro flooring now laid throughout. The next stage is fitting the showers, the rest of the toilets and finishing the cubicles. We can’t wait to officially open our new facility and see all our guests using it.
We have also had areas of our site turfed ready for the forthcoming Bank Holiday.
And as you can see from our pictures this week, the swallows are back in business building their nests at various places around the farm, and some of our campers have been toasting delicious marshmallows, a great way to enjoy the outdoors.

The Shetland ponies – Mojo, Magic and Hector – have been a great hit with our guests over the Bank Holiday weekend. They’ve been fed lots of carrots and have been brushed until their coats shine.

The weather has been a bit cool and the campfires have been lit every night, making for a lovely scene as the evening falls.

The shower block has a toilet and wash-up area up and running, which is a step nearer to the whole unit being open hopefully later this month.

Most of our May Day weekend guests arrived Friday and have a great weekend – we’re lucky enough to have the coast nearby, as well as the North York Moors National Park, so visitors are spoilt for choice for things to go.

Charlie and Spot don't need 'satnav'! http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=34
The May Day Bank Holiday is just around the corner, so we’ve been getting ready for a busy weekend. We’ve been lucky enough to have lots of bookings for what we hope will be a super holiday break. We just hope the weather holds out; this week we’ve had glorious sunshine, even though the air temperature has been very cool of late.

It’s such a relief to see and enjoy the sun. The cows, meanwhile, have been turned out to pasture after the harshest winter in 30 years. The legacy of this winter’s long-lying snows and late frosts linger on: our crops are about two weeks behind ‘schedule’, and the recent spate of cold spring nights hasn’t helped either, even allowing for the sunny days.

Our fat lambs sold at market this week, while our delightful Shetland ponies – three in total – have arrived! They are called Mojo, Magic and Hector. Mojo is two years old, while Magic and Hector are just a year old. They’ve come from the nearby village of Wold Newton, only a few miles from Humble Bee. They will be leaving behind around 25 ‘friends’, hopefully to make new ones with our cattle and visitors here at the farm. We’ve put them at the end of The Dale, where they can be fed carrots by our guests.

Farm Percy has just put up the pig pens, in anticipation of the arrival of our pigs, and we’ve also just welcomed some new Bantams and other rare breeds after a visit to the local fur and feather sale.

The swallows have arrived, heading for their usual favourite nesting site at our appropriately-named Swallow’s Nest Cottage – we know summer is on its way when we see them swooping and making their distinctive calls to each other.

We’ve just taken delivery of our new BIFFA recycling unit, while at the new toilet and shower block, the solar panels have been installed.

best and the birds are busy building nests

Farmer Percy has been hard at work spreading pot ash on fields to
help the crops to grow, while the cows have had their hooves treated
ready for going out to pasture sometime this week.

He also noticed he has only 20 round bales left for the cow’s bedding,
out of an amazing 1,200 bales at the start of the winter.

The shower block is proceeding well, with plans taking place for an
extra water supply from our own borehole.

Although the weather wasn’t spectacular, we were lucky enough to have a busy Easter and our younger guests enjoyed the traditional Easter Egg Hunt organised by a visiting rally, the Conway Owners Club. Our younger visitors also had the pleasure of finding the usual fresh eggs that our free range hens produce on a regular basis!

Our visitors also found out that the calving season is still underway, while on Friday, it was a big day for our fat cattle: it was the day they went to market. Two wagon loads left Humble Bee Farm, with our two Jack Russells, Charlie and Spot, watching with eager eyes.

Birds around the farm are busy building nests for the spring season: however, we do have a lonely duck that none of the others seem to want in their midst. He often wanders on his own around the duck pond, and pays us a visit at our reception. Fortunately, our younger visitors help keep him company.

The shower block is still ongoing and we are hoping to be able to stick to our May deadline. The pathways have now been dug and laid, and we’ve chosen the flooring materials for the interior of the shower block itself.

We’ve had some spectacular spring sunsets over the last few evenings: Sunday’s was a beautiful one, with bright oranges and reds being cast by the sun as it set behind the Wolds hills. As night falls, we can hear the owls begin their nightly calls and hunting tactics.

Truly, there is never a dull moment here at Humble Bee Farm – more next week.]]>

The holiday weekend is here after all our preparations. Our roller has been making the site ready for all our guests, and our long driveway has been levelled our ready for the caravans.

The toilet and shower block is progressing well; we’re aiming for completion in May and you can see from our photos that everyone has been hard at work.

Our onsite shop is stocked with bacon, sausages and eggs for that perfect breakfast, along with lots of treats for the little ones. And don’t forget you can collect your own eggs from the hen house, right here at Humble Bee Farm!

Down on the farm, the cows are now getting ready for pasture, looking out over the hay bales and into the ‘wide, blue yonder’. A couple of our cows appear to have fallen in love, while the hour going forward last weekend has made the days seem longer, with lighter days and evenings enjoyed by all, including the ducks.

The forecast is for April showers over the Easter break - typical spring weather, though hopefully we have seen the last of the winter by now!

Mad March Hares! http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=25
Farmer Percy has had another very busy week: he’s finished the first dressing of fertiliser on all his arable crops for the forthcoming growing season. We’re now waiting for everything to show up fresh and green after the harsh winter.

Six more healthy calves arrived this week, with the mothers doing well. We still have mums waiting to calve, while our store cattle (last year’s calves) are going to market on April 9th to be sold for grazing and breeding. It’s hard to believe it’s a year since they ‘arrived’ here at the Humble Bee cattle barn!

At least the daffodils are showing off their golden flowers – better late than never, as the saying goes. All the birds around Humble Bee seem to have been inspired by the recent sunshine and milder temperatures. The farm is a hive of activity as the birds build nest ready for their young.

With one week to the Easter break, our preparations are well on the way to welcoming visitors old and new to the farm. There’s a lot to do, but it’s also very exciting, as it means the summer is also not too far away.

Our caravan and camping site is now just about ready for our campers: our play area has been checked over, in preparation for our little visitors, the four Wigwams have all been maintained for the new season and new fencing has been erected. The new amenity block is looking great: work is well on schedule, and the opening looks like it will take place at the beginning of May. This week’s jobs included insulation of the roof, laying of sewages pipes and connection to mains water.

Our next blog will be posted over the Easter weekend, so until then, we all hope you have a wonderful Easter break and please come back to read what’s going on, down on the farm.]]>

Farmer Percy has been busy getting the calves’ passports up to date. All new calves need to be registered within 28 days of being born: this involves us tagging their ears with their own special number that matches the one on their individual passport. We then keep the passports safe and up to date as time goes on.

The better weather has meant we’ve been able to plant the spring bulbs and the grass cutting has got under way. Julia’s hanging baskets look very colourful and Farmer Percy has been rolling the site ready for our visitors over Easter, which is one of our favourite spring holidays. He’s also been spreading the fertilisers to help things grow and look their best.

There’s a real excitement in the air, a feeling of expectation as we are getting ready for this next stage of the year. We are stocking up the site shop, and the new shower and toilet block is really coming along. Everyone is looking forward to warmer days and lighter nights.

Beautiful Farm Commended http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=23 Also, read all about our recent new arrivals in our next blog!]]> Feeding one of the Humble Bee calves http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=22 Well done, John and Julia! http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=21 March 14th 2010 http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=17 What a week it’s been!
We took a trip to ‘London Town’ this week, having been short listed for the Beautiful Farm 2010 awards. The event was organised through Farm Business Magazine, designed to recognised farms that proactively encourage wildlife, wild flowers, bugs and butterflies through hedgerow maintenance, river and waterway management and looking after woodland and hillsides. Visitors to Humble Bee Farm will know of our commitment to farming in harmony with the surrounding countryside and we were very pleased to make the prestigious short list.
The ceremony was held at the House of Lords, and after the ceremony we were given a guided tour by Lord Sewel (formerly Scottish Agricultural Minister). Well-known chef James Martin, who trained at nearby Yorkshire Coast College, prepared a sumptuous lunch for all the guests, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We were ‘commended’ for our lovely farm, so we were thrilled to receive such recognition.
Farmer Percy is busy with the arrival of another calf, helping the other calves suckle onto their mothers and preparing his corn drill ready for drilling the spring barley. His John Deere tractor has been out and about with the press at the front, the drill at the back, so drilling will hopefully take place early this week, weather permitting!
Bookings for our cottages, wigwams and camping facilities have really picked up this week; the appearance of sunshine seems to have inspired everyone! Our wigwams, camping and caravanning are fully booked for the Easter period, as are our cottages and St Kitts Holiday Apartment over in Filey.
The hens have been laying their delicious eggs, which have been enjoyed by our cottage guests, while our two Jack Russells Spot and Charlie have been enjoying the early spring sunshine – even one of our ducks decided to bathe in the dog’s water bowl, much to the amusement of the dogs!
Our new toilet and shower block is coming along well, and should be open shortly. The roof is now on, the insulation has been completed and once finished, will be a valuable addition to Humble Bee Farm.
The daffodils are making a late but welcome appearance, so we are really excited that spring does seem to be making a timid effort! More from Humble Bee Farm next week.]]>
Humble Bee Blog March 8 2010 http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=16
Farmer Percy has been busy getting the land ready for the change of season: starting with muck spreading and grass cutting, he then went about dragging the land ready for ploughing and planting spring barley. It is wonderful to see, now the blanket of snow has melted, (hopefully not to return, fingers crossed), the ground beneath once again. The countryside is definitely waking up: some of the wild birds are already gathering twigs for nest building, and the blue skies are a positive change to the snow-filled clouds we are used to!

Our Humble Bee Cottages guests enjoyed glorious sunrises which followed cold and frosty nights, so early morning dog walking was a real pleasure over the past week. The days were cold but sunny, showing Humble Bee Farm at its best.

The cold weather made sure the log burning stoves came ‘into their own’, and our wigwam guests marvelled at the snugness of their wigwams! The ground is, at last, drying out, so our motor-home visitors could park up and settle without ‘a hitch’. We get visitors from all over the country, with some making the trip from Scotland to Humble Bee Farm.

Down on the farm, our calves and mothers are doing well. The early morning sunshine means the guinea fowl, hens, cockerel, ducks and geese are all up and about as the sun peeps over the hilltops and they all love to bask in its rays. Spot and Charlie, our two dogs, are as daft as ever, and often join the birds in their early morning sun-bathing.

As Easter isn’t too far away, we are currently updating our Access Statement for our cottages and our Filey-based holiday apartment, measuring steps, doorway widths etc, ready for our guests as the season gets underway. We have the advantage that Merry Dale and Swallow’s Nest Cottages here at the farm are stable conversions and therefore are all on ground floor level. Our holiday apartment in nearby Filey is also on the ground floor and has the most beautiful views of Filey Bay and Brigg.

So a sense of excitement and anticipation is gripping us all here at Humble Bee Farm. More information in our next blog.]]>
Blog March 1 2010 http://www.humblebeefarm.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=15 We’ve just had a double surprise today in the form of two new born Blonde Acquitaine calves, in addition to seven other recent arrivals. This caused lots of excitement in the cow barns! Mums and youngsters seem to be doing well, with the mums on a diet of corn, barley and straw.
Farmer Percy went to market last Friday to purchase more cattle for his herd, but as prices were on the up, he decided to leave it until later in the season.
Spring seems to be nearer after what has been an incredibly long winter. The weather has been too wet so far to plant the spring barley, while the Muston Young Farmers ploughing match was a great success. The event attracted 40 tractors from all over the north, including some vintage models. The winner was from Clitheroe in Lancashire.
Our fat lambs, which we brought to Humble Bee last autumn, have been doing a grand job in The Dale, cleaning the grass of ragwort and others species ready for the cows to go to pasture in the spring. These lambs will go to market at Easter.
The weather has been a real feature this winter: over the half term holiday in February, we had a busy week and the heavens opened towards the end of the break. This resulted in numerous snowmen making an appearance and sledging took place – maybe snowman building should be a Winter Olympic sport?
Our cottage guests also enjoyed the wintry landscape as they could relax in our outdoor hot tubs, covered by thatched gazebos, sipping champagne while watching the snowflakes fall.
Work has started on our new toilet and shower block – we hope this will be ready for early spring. The foundations have been laid, and the brickwork is just about to start, so things are very much taking shape.
Our two dogs, Spot and Charlie, are doing well and are always greet our guests.
Keep up to date with ‘the buzz’ here at Humble Bee Farm by checking our regularly updated blog.
