Overview
- James Middleton, in interviews published Monday, said he and sisters Catherine and Pippa swap jars of honey from their hives rather than compete over whose tastes best.
- He rejected talk of a contest between Sandringham, Bucklebury and Kintbury honey, saying beekeeping is a community built on sharing tips because each season differs.
- He said he will appear this month at Goodwoof, a large dog festival at Goodwood, to showcase a canine first-aid kit he produced with guidance from the family veterinarian.
- The kit includes a tick-removal tool, a blood-clotting agent, antiseptic wipes, bandages, a thermometer and a nail trimmer, and he described using it to help a dog that tore a nail reach a vet.
- He credited his family with starting his beekeeping journey by gifting him 1,000 bees for his 24th birthday, a tradition that set up the siblings’ ongoing honey exchanges.
