Local Honey in Sussex

Find honey in Sussex on the map

The beekeepers on this page come from both East and West Sussex, and range from long-established bee farms to backyard hives. The Payne family have kept bees since 1922 and now trade as R & R Bee Company, with around 600 colonies spread across the South Downs, while Sussex Bee Farm keeps around 200 production hives across Sussex and jars each apiary's honey separately, describing flavours from chalkland wildflowers, farmers' fields and ancient woodland. Smaller producers include town beekeepers in Crawley and Brighton, and several around Uckfield.

Sussex beekeepers show their honey at the Bees and Honey section of the South of England Show at Ardingly, and at local shows such as the Worthing division's honey show at the Findon Sheep Fair.
