Barnsley sits against the eastern side of the Pennines, and Barnsley Beekeepers Association notes that local bees work everything from wind-swept high moorland and grazing land on the Pennine slopes to arable fields of oilseed rape, borage and field beans. The association's honey show is hosted at Penistone Show on the second Saturday of September, and its association apiary is at Wentworth Castle.
Both producers here are family businesses. Staincross Apiaries keeps around 40 hives on a smallholding at Staincross, with views towards Penistone. It offers honey for collection at an agreed time and runs beekeeping experiences in its bee classroom. Austin Artisan Honey Company has kept bees for more than 40 years from its Barnsley base, with hives across Yorkshire, and sells through its online shop.
