Frequently Asked Questions
Closing down after 43 years?
It is very sad that we are closing down after 43 years. With the birth of our baby James we needed more income than bees could provide. The beekeeping industry has been in turmoil over the last few years with even the largest player in the market Comvita, finding it tough. Our last shop day is 28 August 2025 when we will have sold out of most of our honey.
But I want to come and visit you on a different day / I have visitors I want to bring – help!
We would prefer you come on our opening days. However, we will try to accommodate visits on different days – you must give us prior notice to ensure that we are home. Only packed honey is available for you outside of our regular shop days. You can contact us via our contact page.
Group visits?
Sorry. With the closing of the business, there are no more group visits.
Can you fill my containers?
Yes, we can fill your own containers on our open days. This is cheaper because you are paying just the bulk honey price not the on shelf packed price.
How many beehives do you have?
We used to have around 200 hives. Now we have a Crewcut lawn mowing franchise as well as honey so we have under 20 hives and are selling previous seasons honey.
