OUR STORY
West Berkshire's Local Beefarm
Ben, our Head Beekeeper, started beekeeping in 2014. After getting his first hive he was hooked and has increased his number of hives each year. Now Ben's Berkshire Bees is running over 100 hives and expanding each year.
​
Ben's children are also lovers of bees and help out with checking the bees!
Ben's Berkshire Bees now has Apiaries across West Berkshire, located in Brimpton, Ashmore Green, Frilsham, Crookham Common, Frilsham, Midgham Theale and Welford.
​
We are always interested in new places to keep bees. If you are a land owner please get in touch!
Minimally Processed Honey
Once the honey is naturally ripened by the bees, we carefully extract it through a gentle and efficient process. First, we remove the wax capping that seals the honeycomb cells. Then, the honey is released by spinning the frames in a centrifuge, which allows it to flow out smoothly. Finally, we filter the honey through a fine mesh to remove any remaining impurities, ensuring a pure and high-quality product ready for you to enjoy.

Ben has delivered a variety of engaging talks on bees to local groups, including presentations at Women's Institutes, Eco Festivals, residential homes, Young Farmers' clubs, preschools, and Scout groups.
