Local Honey in South Yorkshire
Find honey in South Yorkshire on the map
South Yorkshire's honey ranges from Pennine moorland to lowland farmland. Barnsley Beekeepers Association describes members' bees working high moorland, grazing land on the Pennine slopes and arable crops such as oilseed rape, borage and field beans. Sheffield Honey keeps around 300 hives across the city and in the Hope Valley in the Peak District, and alongside blossom, borage and orchard honeys it produces bell heather and ling heather honey.
Barnsley's honey show is hosted at Penistone Show on the second Saturday of September, and Sheffield Beekeepers' Association runs its own members' show, with a class for heather honey. Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham each have a local beekeepers' association.
Most producers here sell online or by arrangement rather than from a shop: Haskins Honey in south Sheffield sells through its webshop with pick-up by appointment, Staincross Apiaries offers collection at an agreed time, and Sheffield Honey is stocked in shops around the city and the Peak District. Several also run beekeeping experiences or workshops, including Staincross Apiaries, More Bees Please and The Croft Bees & Hive Honey at Hatfield Woodhouse near Doncaster.
