Local Honey Yelverton
Dartmoor honey bee'zzz
Tor Royal Farm, Tor Royal Lane, Princetown, Yelverton, PL20 6SLHoney from Tor Royal, a working Dartmoor hill farm above Princetown, where farmer Justine and her family keep a few colonies of honeybees. The farm also raises beef and lamb and keeps hens.
The hives are dotted around the farm and forage on the wild plants of the moorland and farmland; honey is taken in the summer months and only in good years, so quantities are small. Alongside conventional hives the family keep a Warré hive, which lets the bees build comb much as they would in a hollow tree and is managed without chemicals. The farm's honey has included heather honey and comb honey.
Availability varies from year to year, so get in touch to find out what honey there is. Tor Royal also runs educational farm visits for schools and the public, which can include a look at the bees through an observation hive or, with protective clothing, close to the hives.
