Beekeepers are unusual, as their activity (which is often "just a hobby") is the production of food that may be sold to the public. Many will see the process through from the very beginning - making hives, sourcing bees, setting up apiaries, and managing the bees, right through all stages of harvest, processing, packing, labelling, to retail sale.

Training is usually through local beekeeping associations, who often use a curriculum set by the British Beekeepers Association; this focuses on the practical sides of beekeeping, husbandry and the like, and it is intended to lead on to further study with Modules, and even the National Bee Diploma, the pinnacle of the possible qualification.

The BBKA's Module 2 assessment includes food production and hygiene: the "bee press" occasionally have articles or a mention.

There is little reliable guidance for beekeepers on the food production side, which is quite surprising. Although many beekeepers are hobbyists, with a few hives, and very limited sales, many have a number of hives. Of course, there are also bee farmers with many hives, producing significant quantities of honey and related products in commercial quantities. It's surprisingly easy to progress from a couple of hives to several, to having many!

There are often enquiries on social media about honey, processing, or legal requirements. The sometimes less-than-expert responses often perpetuate old practices or information, which were not always correct to start with. For instance, I've seen it stated that in order to label honey with its botanical origin, it needs to contain variously 40% through to 70% of that nectar; but neither of these numbers is mentioned in the UK legislation. Another misrepresentation is that you don't need to register as a food business if premises are used for less than five days in five consecutive weeks: this is based on the Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991. However, these were superseded by Retained Regulation (EC) 852/2004, which contained no such exemption; there's full information in the relevant paragraph.

In this book, Andy (an Environmental Health Officer for 46 years and a beekeeper for 30) explores the Consumer Protection law that applies to beekeepers and bee farmers. The book principally deals with Food and Food Safety, and includes a full HACCP that covers both extracted and comb honey. The book includes other products – Candles, Melts, Wraps and Polishes. The intention is to give as comprehensive picture as possible of both the legal requirements, and at the same time, practical advice to achieve the highest quality product and achieve a high Food Hygiene Safety Rating.

Andy Pedley has been keeping bees for 30 years, and as an Environmental Health Officer, developed an interest in the law on food safety as it applies to bee keepers and honey production about 14 years ago, realising that there was a fair amount of misinformation and traditional, but not always good, practice, among beekeepers. In 2009, he authored a series in BeeCraft, a UK magazine, on the Food Safety Legislation, and has authored other relevant articles for them too – on the Honey Regulations and Recycling jars.

Had no issue and it was very easy to use. It has been a week and no leak.
Size: 01- 24pcs (Classic Green)
Easy to use and its been a week and no leak. The kit is great and easy to use. The hard part was for me to get the screw out of my tire because the head was half gone. Once I got the screw out I followed the instructions and reamed the hole and inserted the plug and trimmed the plug. If you plan on keeping it in your car you probably should add a screwdriver and/or pliers to get the screw out of the tire and a razor to trim the plug once it is in. You really need a razor to trim the plug I tried with a knife but the had to get a razor.
