Local Honey Surrey

Busy Bee Honey Company is a family-run business founded by a former firefighter who took up beekeeping after retiring from the fire service. What began as a hobby has grown into a multi-county operation with apiaries situated across Surrey, Hampshire, and Berkshire. The company uses native British honeybees and follows a natural extraction process carried out without heat, producing true raw honey. They only take surplus honey from their hives, ensuring enough remains for the bees to survive the winter months. Their Berkshire honey is a real local golden honey made from the nectar and pollen of a variety of flowers across the county, with a colour that varies seasonally. The company embraces a no-waste culture, turning by-products from their hives into candles, soap, and natural skincare products. Their product range includes county-specific honeys (Berkshire, Surrey), creamed honey, borage honey, honeycomb products, beeswax cosmetics, candles, and gift sets. They also offer beekeeping experiences, introductory courses, talks to local groups and schools, and a rent-a-hive scheme, reflecting a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and pollinator education.
