In a new clip on Instagram, she told fans: "Ages ago I was like, 'I'm going to get bees'. But I thought I'm not getting bees unless I really study it properly and learn everything about it.
"So I found this incredible lady called Helen who does beekeeping courses, there's a theory and a practical.

"I booked myself in for the course. Teddy got really sick and I said to the lady, 'my dog's not very well, I can't leave him for too long, can we do some of the course at my house?'
"And she said 'we can do the theory at your house then you can come and do the practical where I've got my hive'."
But Stacey explained that, while at Pickle Cottage, her plumber Mark told them he'd just driven past a hive of bees, adding: "Helen was like, 'let's go get them, that could be your colony'."
Despite Stacey's protests that she "wasn't ready", Helen pushed on and they went to collect the bees to bring them back to Pickle Cottage.

"The negative comments really upset her, she takes them to heart, she never wants to be seen as ungrateful, because she's not.

The different stages of breast cancer and the five key early symptoms to look out for
Singer and songwriter Jessie J revealed to her fans on social media that she has been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer' and plans to undergo surgery. In a video posted on Instagram, the 37-year-old singer, real name Jessica Cornish, said: 'Before No Secrets [the most recent single] came out I was diagnosed with early breast cancer…cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. 'I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I just wanted to be open and share it one because selfishly I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories.' She also added that she was going to 'disappear for a bit' after a June 15 performance to have surgery. The announcement highlights the importance of staying breast aware. Jessie J told her Instagram followers that she wanted to share her experience of breast cancer. Here, Dr Cliona Kirwan, a consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon, explains what the different stages of breast cancer are and the five key early symptoms to look out for. What are the different stages of breast cancer? 'Initially, breast cancer starts as pre-cancer, as cancerous cells trapped in the milk ducts, and that's called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which you can only really see and find on a mammogram,' says Kirwan. 'Then it can break through the wall of the milk duct and become a true invasive breast cancer within the breast, so usually that would be a little lump inside the breast, and that's the stage that most ladies present symptoms at.' The next stage is when the breast cancer spreads up to the lymph nodes, most commonly to the lymph nodes in the armpit next to the breast it originated from, adds the breast surgeon. 'That's what we'd call locally advanced breast cancer, or lymph node positive breast cancer,' she explains. 'Then eventually the cancer breaks through the lymph nodes in the armpit and spreads around the body. That would be advanced, metastatic or secondary breast cancer. At that stage, treatment is more about control than cure.' What are some early warning signs? 1. Lumps: 'The classic one is a lump. So, people should regularly examine their breasts about once a month,' advises Kirwan. 'If you are still having period, I would recommend checking your breasts a week after your period, because you tend to be lumpier before a period, and the hormone-sensitive bits of breast swell a bit naturally. A lump in the armpit could also be a sign that the cancer has spread to the armpit.' 2. Dimpling: 'Also look for dimpling,' says Kirwan. 'Dimpling is when you lift your arms up and you see an area of the pulling in that didn't used to do that, so it's a shape change in the breast from the normal move curvature that you'd have.' 3. Nipple changes: 'Look out for any nipple changes, like nipple inversion or rashes on the nipple,' recommends Kirwan. 4. Nipple discharge: 'Bloody nipple discharge is another sign to be aware of,' she says. 5. Skin or size changes: 'Also, look out for any general skin changes around the breast area,' advises Kirwan. When should you seek medical advice about these symptoms? Early diagnosis is crucial, so make sure you book an appointment with a GP if you start to present with any of these symptoms. How is breast cancer treated? 'The only way you can cure breast cancer is to remove it, so the main treatment is surgery,' says Kirwan. 'In the early stages, most ladies can have breast-conserving surgery. In other words, they get to keep the breast and we just remove that area where the cancer is and often we then remodel the breast and try and keep a nice shape. 'Sometimes ladies will need a mastectomy, and that is often when the lump is big compared to the size of the breast, and so taking out the area of disease would mean there just wasn't enough breast tissue left for it to be worth saving. Surgery on armpits is also common, to check if any cancer has got into the lymph nodes.' Many patients are also offered chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. 'Some patients also get anti-oestrogen tablets, which is effectively the opposite of HRT,' adds Kirwan. 'Then there are also lots of new drugs coming on the scene, which are targeted therapies. The drugs are getting very clever, so every year outcomes are improving with new drugs that come along.' People should examine breasts about once a month.
