There's still time to get your orders in before Christmas. Buy your Surrey Raw, Natural Honey direct from the Producer and remember we offer free UK postage when you buy four 454g jars. #honey #christmas2024 #post #surrey #epsomsurrey #beekeeping #Christmas

We are excited to announce that we now have honey from one of our smallest apiaries ready for sale. Each jar is individually numbered, from a very small batch of unblended, raw natural honey. This honey is a moment captured in time, never to be repeated, it is Surrey honey terroir at its best.

As a beekeeper I have been making mead for a few years now however, I'm still maturing it and not drinking yet.

The start of an Urban Apiary

Seasons reflections: This was the start of a new 'test' Apiary for the 2024 season. As it did very well, we'll be expanding it next season with NUC's that we are overwintering. #apiary #beekeeping #honeybees #beehives

Pulled all the frames and spun them, the honey was checked for moisture which was >18%. It was stored in settling tanks for a few days then put into jars.

Like you, I see a lot of beekeepers using AH Muzzles now. Hopefully we won't have to go down this route for a few years yet. #asianhornet #beekeeping
