Local Honey Denham

Denham Village Honey is a small-scale local beekeeping operation based in South Buckinghamshire, with hives situated close to Denham, Iver Heath, and Little Chalfont. The bees forage from gardens and orchards in the surrounding area, producing a distinctly local honey. The producer takes a notably natural approach to beekeeping, avoiding the use of chemicals to treat mite infestations and instead allowing the bees to develop their own natural resistance over time. Only surplus honey is harvested, with enough left in the hive to sustain the colony through winter. The honey is minimally processed: spun from the comb, filtered, allowed to settle, and then jarred — preserving as much of the natural goodness as possible. Honey is sold in 456g (1lb) glass jars at £7.50 each, available for collection from the apiary by arrangement, or delivered locally for orders of four or more jars. In addition to honey, the producer makes beeswax candles from surplus hive wax, traditionally favoured for burning cleaner and longer than paraffin or soya alternatives. They also offer a swarm collection service for local residents.
