Farmers Market Monthly Competition

Now is peak honey!

Beekeeping is of profound importance for both the environment and society. Bees are essential pollinators, supporting the reproduction of a wide range of plants, including many crops vital to the UK’s food supply and biodiversity. By maintaining healthy bee populations through beekeeping, our beekeepers help ensure stable ecosystems, robust crop yields, and the preservation of wildflowers and habitats that sustain other wildlife.

Beyond environmental benefits, small scale beekeeping strengthens local economies, preserves traditional skills and encourages sustainable land use, contributing to both cultural heritage and ecological stewardship. It also fosters community engagement, offering educational opportunities and raising awareness about the critical role of bees and the challenges they face, such as habitat loss and disease.

Which brings us to this month's prize: We have a bee keeping experience to give to a lucky winner.

On your visit you will learn about the importance of bees, the honeybee colony including reproduction and swarming, sourcing your bees, beekeeping equipment and more.
