Local Honey Guildford

Bee Friends is a local bee farmer based just outside Guildford in Worplesdon, Surrey, managing over 220 colonies of honeybees across 41 apiaries, mainly situated in the Surrey Hills. The operation is run with a strong passion for beekeeping and bee welfare, with a focus on sustainable practices and educating the public about the importance of honeybees as pollinators. Honey is harvested using traditional methods without applying any heat at any stage of the process, resulting in a genuinely raw local honey. Only surplus honey is collected, ensuring the bees retain enough to sustain themselves over winter. In addition to their raw honey range — which includes a Local Heather Honey — Bee Friends produces handmade beeswax skincare products such as Rosemary Gardener's Hand Cream, pure beeswax candles, beeswax food wraps, and honey mead, all made with 100% natural and sustainable ingredients in eco-friendly packaging. The bee farm near Guildford is open for guided tours from April to October, with free entry for children under 14. Beekeeping courses are also offered. The business is clearly led by an individual beekeeper — referenced by name as Sergio in a customer testimonial — who is known for enthusiastic and informative bee demonstrations.
