We’ve been keeping bees since 1985 and have been extracting their honey in small quantities over the years, but have now decided to make it available to the local community to purchase.
West Sussex Honey
11th May, 2021
Today, the season has begun with our first swarm. Fortunately this was an easy one to catch and it is now safely in a small hive ready to be moved to it’s new permanent position in the Whapplegate Apiary.
Well, here we go again. Our second swarm 12th May, 2021 meant we didn’t have to go far because they had stayed in their Whapplegate Apiary.
March 2022. Really happy to say that the bees are already busy gathering pollen, mainly from the Pussy Willow trees which are out in blossom. Already the Queens are laying brood, ready for the Spring/Summer Seasons.
