Available from the door – we are located in Church Crookham (GU52 6JN – due to narrow lane, please park on Moore Rd) – there’s a honey for sale sign up. Cash or Card.
The only sure way to know the honey you buy is authentic is to buy it direct from your local beekeeper….![]()

And so the work begins, who needs the gym (each box can weight up to 30kg). Thank you to the very hard working bee colonies (we always leave atleast 25kg for them to use over winter), we have a decent crop to take off, spin, filter and bottle.
2024 Honey For Sale![]()
I’m very pleased to say we are starting to see the bees processing nectar into honey after a spell of decent weather. The initial small batch has been taken off and bottled – so we have honey for sale again! Just runny at the moment. Comb and set will follow later. Same price as last year for the runny honey – £6.50 for 340g
