Collect Direct from the Apiary
You can collect your honey direct from our apiary at Ghylls Plat located between Fairwarp and Duddleswell. We do not offer a delivery service.

Collecting your honey in person offers a unique opportunity to see the bees in action and experience the heart of where Ashdown Forest Honey is made.

It’s a chance to connect with the land, the bees, and the tradition behind every jar...

Spring Harvest Honey

Summer Harvest Honey

A light, golden honey that captures the vibrant awakening of Ashdown Forest in spring.

Our bees gather nectar from an array of early blooms, including wild cherry, blackthorn, willow, dandelions, and the enchanting bluebells that carpet the woodland floor.

This delicate honey boasts a fresh, floral aroma with a bright, citrusy sweetness that evokes the essence of springtime.

Perfect for drizzling over yogurt, stirring into herbal teas, or enjoying straight from the spoon.

Available from May and June (weather permitting)

Golden amber with a mellow, floral character, our Summer Harvest Honey reflects the gentle abundance of Ashdown Forest in summer.

Crafted from the nectar of bramble, clover, rosebay willowherb, Hemp Agrimony, and the fragrant lavender growing in our apiary, this honey has a subtle sweetness with delicate fruity and floral undertones. A touch of heather nectar adds a hint of warmth and depth, while maintaining its lighter profile.

Perfect for enjoying on toast, drizzling over fresh fruit, or stirring into warm drinks.

Available from August and September (weather permitting)

Experience the full spectrum of Ashdown Forest with both our Spring and Summer Harvest Honeys.

Each jar offers a unique taste of the seasons, from the delicate floral notes of spring to the mellow, fruity undertones of summer.

Pure, raw, and unpasteurised, our honey is carefully crafted to preserve its natural goodness and the authentic flavours of the forest.

Try them both and savour the ever-changing bounty of this extraordinary landscape—nature’s finest, straight from the hive.
