A Local Partnership With A Real Impact

Your hive name will be displayed on the hive throughout the sponsorship period, creating a visible connection between your organisation and local beekeeping.

Throughout the season you'll receive updates, photographs and videos showing how your hive is progressing, helping you share a genuine local sustainability story with customers, visitors and staff.

The additional experience provides a unique opportunity for hands-on engagement, allowing participants to connect directly with traditional beekeeping and natural product making.

Location

Bee Talks, Honey Tastings and Cream Teas are typically held in Branscombe, East Devon.

Hive Experiences take place at one of our Branscombe apiaries and may vary depending on the season, colony availability and the needs of the bees.

Lunches, refreshments and catering may also be available through The Old Bakery, Branscombe, subject to availability and additional cost.
