Local Honey Armagh

Springhill Apiaries is a family-run business based at 95 Creenagh Road, Armagh, dedicated to producing quality local honey from their own bees kept throughout the Armagh area. Their bees forage across a rich and varied landscape throughout the seasons: in spring they collect nectar from dandelion, apple, hawthorn and sycamore; in summer they move onto lime and clover; later in the season they forage on bramble and balsam; and in autumn they benefit from ivy, an important source of nectar and pollen that is largely retained in the hive to sustain the bees through winter. The apiary produces a range of honey types including runny, chunk and soft set honey, available for most of the year, as well as sections and cut comb during the summer season when available. In addition to honey production, Springhill Apiaries provides a pollination service for local fruit growers, particularly apple orchards in the Armagh region. The business has achieved notable recognition, winning 1st place in the Honey for Sale category and the Turnbull Cup at the INIB honey show in October 2025, and has received multiple cups and trophies for their hive products. They are an active participant in the beekeeping community, attending events such as the UBKA conference, and have invested in professional equipment including a jar labelling machine for consistent batch-numbered labelling.
