Both producers on the Banbury page are in the countryside west of the town. Honeymakers at Lower Lea Farm, near Swalcliffe, which started out as The Honeybee Suppliers, is a large commercial bee farm: it keeps more than 1,000 colonies of Buckfast bees and sells Cotswold wildflower, summer, lime flower, starflower and creamed honeys, plus honey-based skincare. Its honey is stocked widely around north Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, including at Wykham Park Farm Shop and Hook Norton Brewery, and can be ordered online.
Helen's Local Honey, at Tadmarton, is on a much smaller scale: Helen Raine sells limited supplies of North Oxfordshire honey and also runs hands-on beekeeping and honey-tasting experiences, as well as managing hives for estates.
