The Lancashire & North West Beekeepers' Association, founded in 1882, is one of the oldest in England. It has eight branches across Lancashire and parts of Merseyside and Greater Manchester, and holds its annual honey show in October at Myerscough College near Preston, where Lancaster beekeepers call rich orange heather honey "the pride of the area".
The honeys on this page show the county's range. Cryer's Honey in Lytham comes mostly from an orchard of apple, pear, plum and damson trees; Goodshaw Honey's bees forage around Loveclough, Goodshaw and Crawshawbooth in Rossendale; Jack and Val's wildflower honey comes partly from hives on the meadows of Gazegill, an organic farm at Rimington near Clitheroe, which sells it with its other produce; and The Bee Centre at Brindle, near Chorley, breeds bees based on the native black bee.
The Bee Centre has a shop open on set days, and most other producers here sell online or from home, so check availability before travelling.
Use the listing details to choose how to buy, then contact the producer before travelling.
The directory does not track live stock or harvest dates. Availability, collection, delivery, prices and seasonal varieties can change, so ask the producer to confirm what is currently available.
