Welcome!Our products are all made using the finest honey and beeswax harvested from our own bees, and are prepared by hand in small batches in our cottage kitchen. Our hundred hives of free-range bees are situated in a number of apiaries around our home in Ottery St. Mary, East Devon, where the bees forage on a variety of farm crops, hedgerows and gardens as the seasons allow. We are a family-run business and have kept bees in Devon for over thirty five years. We pride ourselves on selling high quality, locally produced honey, beeswax and beehive products. We regularly attend farmers' markets in Ottery St. Mary and Seaton, and also sell our produce through selected local delicatessens.

If you have any questions about our produce, have a read of our Honey Questions page or contact us directly and we will do our best to help.

New product: Honey Soap
We have been hard at work this year creating our own honey soap. Feedback from our friends and customers has been excellent - it has a gentle honey fragrance and produces a creamy lather. It's now available to order in the cosmetics section
Winter beekeeping course - places now available on 2nd course
We have introduced a second winter course due to demand, starting in January.
If you have considered taking up beekeeping, or have started with a hive or a swarm this year and want to improve your skills, this is the course for you.
Six evening classroom sessions plus two afternoon apiary sessions cover all you need to know to start keeping bees, such as understanding how the insects live, managing them throughout the year, selecting an apiary site, harvesting honey and beeswax, and what equipment you need to get started. Refreshments and protective clothing are provided, as is a copy of one of the best beekeeping guides, allowing you to make a competent and confident start with honey bees.
See the Courses section for more details and to reserve your place.
