Local Honey Horsham

Raw honey from EZ-Bees, a small beekeeping outfit in North Horsham, West Sussex, sold as Hawkesbourne Honey from their Hawkesbourne Wood apiary. The hives use Flow frames, so the honey drains straight out of the comb and is simply filtered, left to settle and jarred by hand – processing is kept to a minimum. Cut comb is cut from frames the bees build out themselves and sold by weight. Each hive stand in the apiary has scales and a monitor, and the hive data is shared on the EZ-Bees website.

Honey and beeswax products can be bought from the honesty box by the road between Horsham and Rusper, ordered online, or arranged directly for local delivery or pick-up in Horsham. Some local shops and market stalls stock the honey too.

EZ-Bees also sells beeswax blocks and cubes, beeswax candles, dried bee venom, and home-bred nucleus colonies and queens. They collect honey bee swarms free of charge in the Horsham area, remove established nests by cut-out or trap-out, and offer a pollination service placing managed hives on local land.
