Local Honey Peebles

Peeblesshire Beekeepers Association has been training beekeepers and producing honey for over 100 years, making it one of the longest-established beekeeping associations in Scotland. Based in Peebles in the Scottish Borders, the association operates a dedicated teaching apiary where both experienced and novice beekeepers learn all aspects of beekeeping and small-batch honey production. Their 2021 harvest yielded a high-quality, cold-filtered local blossom honey described as light and flowery, believed to be a blend of lime and clover. Honey is available in two jar sizes — 454g/1lb jars at £9.00 and 228g/8oz jars at £5.00 — and can be collected directly in Peebles. Card payments are accepted. The association is particularly proud of having continued teaching new beekeepers throughout 2020 and 2021 despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, with some of those beginners going on to produce their very first honey of their own.
