This is where your journey could begin.
Get to know our business and what we do, and how we're committed to providing a sustainable future for honeybee populations and how your business could help.
Join us in supporting local bee populations and making a tangible impact on the environment by sponsoring one of our beehives. These hives not only produce delicious, locally sourced honey, but they also play a vital role in promoting biodiversity, supporting pollination, and fostering a healthier ecosystem.
🌿 Support Sustainability: Bees are essential to over 75% of the world's crops. Your sponsorship helps maintain healthy hives that are crucial for food security and natural habitats.
🍯 Enjoy the Sweet Rewards: Each hive sponsor receives a share of the honey harvested - a true taste of natures bounty, made possible by your commitment to the environment.
🐝 Make an Environmental Impact: Sponsorship directly contributes to pollinator conservation and reduces our ecological footprint.
💚 Great for Businesses or Individuals: Wether you're a business looking to demonstrate your green credentials or an individual passionate about the planet, hive sponsorship is a meaningful way to make a difference.

Please Note:
· Payment is made as a one-off payment for the whole year but you are given the option to renew before the adoption expires.
· All our beehives are located in Haughley, Suffolk rather than your business premises. As beekeepers we need to visit our hives at least once every week to look after and care for them. We plan inspections into our week with each site requiring multiple hives to make the visit efficient and cost effective.
· Why should your business Adopt a Beehive? Improve your Corporate, Social Responsibility in a cost effective manor with immediate environmental impact. Regular marketing and PR opportunities. Delicious honey directly from your hive(s) delivered to you without the mess!
· What’s happening to Bees? Bees and other pollinators in many parts of the world are under threat and their numbers are declining according to several researches. There is evidence that Honeybee numbers and other pollinators have fallen and are less abundant than they have been. There are several possible causes including pest and diseases, loss of habitat as well as possible Climate change disruptions which are causing disruptions to weather patterns and seasons.
· Can we adopt multiple hives? Yes of course you can, you can adopt a single beehive or multiples.
· When will we receive our honey? We extract honey twice a year, usually around the end of May for our set / creamed honey and again in August for our runny honey. (Depending on seasonal conditions). We will deliver your selected jars to suit.
· Can we visit our beehive? Yes of course! We can only accommodate small groups by prior arrangement, as we don’t keep all of our beehives at our main farm apiary. Visits only take place during the beekeeping season which normally runs between May and August.
