What you’re buying Our Honey Box is made by Penny Bee honey and is produced by bees looked after by John the Beeman, who keeps hives on several farms around Blakemere — including 12 hives here at Lower Blakemere Farm. The bees forage across: hedgerows wildflowers flowering crops gardens and trees around the village The nectar they collect becomes honey in the hive.

A quick bit of bee maths A healthy hive in summer can contain 30,000–60,000 bees. With hives across the farms around Blakemere, that means hundreds of thousands of bees working the landscape every day. They’re not just making honey. They’re pollinating crops, wildflowers and hedgerows across the countryside too. And we’re very happy to host some of the hives here on the farm.
