🐝🍯 Just a little reassurance - despite the card surcharge changes, our prices are staying the same for now, so there’s no extra cost for you. ❤️
Behind every jar of honey, there is so much more than what meets the eye. Because of Varroa, beekeepers are now facing an enormous amount of extra work and pressure. Keeping our bees alive and healthy has become incredibly time-consuming and challenging. Every beekeeper understands just how much time, care and effort it takes.
On top of that, electricity bills are rising, fuel costs are increasing, and the cost of living keeps going up. We are running a small business, but we are also feeling the same financial pressures as everyone else.
Yet, despite all these challenges, we are choosing to keep going. We still have hope, passion and faith in what we do. Most importantly, we have faith in the wonderful customers who continue to support our little business. ❤️
That's why, for now, we’ve decided not to increase our prices to cover card payment fees. Instead, we’re choosing to absorb those costs ourselves.
We know how convenient it is to tap your card or phone, and we’re always happy to accept card payments. But if you’re able to pay with cash, it would mean a little more to our small business than you might realise. 🥰
For a small business, every single cent counts. What may seem like a small percentage on one transaction can add up over a busy market day - and those little costs really do make a difference to us.
So, if you have cash with you and you're happy to use it, choosing cash helps us keep a little more of what you spend with us. ❤️
But please don't feel uncomfortable if you don't have cash - we are still very happy to accept your card, please keep tapping! Your support means the most to us, whichever way you choose to pay. This is simply a small request from a small business trying its best to keep moving forward without increasing prices 🐝🍯 We hope you'll understand our situation and continue to stand beside us, just as we continue to put our hearts into what we do.
Every purchase matters. Every cent matters. And every customer matters to us. 💛❤️🐝🍯
