Two of the beekeepers listed here keep bees in south-west Edinburgh, close to the Pentland Hills. Woodhall Bees has hives in the heart of Colinton village, with bees foraging up onto the Pentlands, through Colinton Dell and along the Water of Leith; its heather and blossom honey is sold at Olive Deli & Post on Bridge Road. TheSix Honey Co, a family of six, keeps hives in its Oxgangs garden and presses its heather honey from the comb.
Elsewhere in the city, Edinburgh Honey Co has shops on Easter Road and Morningside Road selling raw honey harvested in East and West Lothian, and Simply Honey, run by a bee farmer and honey sensory analyst, sells single-origin honeys from bees across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Honeybeard sells raw Scottish honey from beekeepers in the south-west and the Borders rather than from the city itself. For swarms or advice on keeping bees, the Edinburgh & Midlothian Beekeepers' Association has served the city since 1924.
