We make Honey and Ginger, Honey and Apricot, Honey with Lavender ( made with lavender essence from the brilliant lavender farm near Broadway, Worcestershire, Coarse Grain Honey Mustard, Seville Orange and Honey Marmalade, St Clements and Honey Marmalade and finally our lovely Honey Comb. We use honey from our apiaries and beekeepers - all completely traceable, low food miles with production taking place in sustainable wooden beehives.

Sunshine and warm weather has spurred the colonies on - we are busy inspecting them to stop any swarming.

If you get a swarm in your garden please check the bbka website for information about getting it removed, also help with bees in buildings :

We still have excellent stocks of honey available from our warehouse - please keep buying UK produced honey rather than imported, the beekeeping industry needs you !

A WORK OF HEART

  • Apiary Locations

  • Bidford on Avon, Loxley, Gaydon, Halford, Shipston on Stour, Brailes, Mine Hill, Traitors Ford, Swalcliffe, Witney
  • Did you know?

  • Bees born during different times of year have different lifespans. Those born in Spring/Summer have busier and shorter lives- living up to 6 or 7 weeks. However, those born in Autumn (before the Queen Bee ceases laying for Winter) are predominantly there to see the colony through to next Spring - therefore potentially living for 4-6 months. Of course, this all depends on the health and size of the colony and the severity of the Winter.
  • Independent Cotswold Business specialising in honey, beeswax polish and mead.

  • Our speciality food section is a great place to purchase a mini hamper .
