Local beekeepers - honest honey

Raw honey &
happy bees,
since day one.

We keep bees, harvest raw honey, and come out when you’ve got a swarm. Great honey, bee products and genuine care for the bees.

Honey, bees
& swarms.

We don’t try to do everything. We keep bees, harvest honey honestly, sell nucs to new beekeepers, and help when a swarm needs a safe new home.

Our honey

What’s in the jar
is what came out
of the hive.

Most supermarket honey is heated, ultra-filtered and blended with imports. Ours is cold-extracted, settled and bottled. That’s the whole process.

Raw honey can be cloudy and may crystallise. That’s normal. A gentle warm water bath brings it back to liquid.

Swarm collection

Don’t call pest
control. Call us.

Honey bee swarms are completely natural - it’s how colonies grow and find new homes. A swarm cluster is usually calm and not looking for trouble.

With us, the entire colony gets a new home in one of our apiaries.

Got a swarm right now?

Contact us below with where the swarm is, roughly how big, and a photo if you can. We’ll get back to you straight away.

About

Local beekeepers,
not a brand.

Browners Bees is a small, independent beekeeping operation. When you order honey or report a swarm, you’re dealing directly with beekeepers!

We keep our hives locally, harvest once the bees have enough surplus, and put bee welfare ahead of yield every time. The honey reflects wherever our bees have been foraging that season - it changes season to season, and that’s part of what makes it worth having.

Get in touch.

Whether you’re after honey, have a swarm, or just want to ask something - we’re easy to reach.
