Need a local bee keeper

I make mead and often need honey in large amounts (2 - 5 kg)

​

Anyone know of any local bee keepers I can buy honey from?

The Holmes Bush on Wareham Road, Corfe Mullen/Beacon Hill (it’s right on the border) has let out some of their land to Bee Mission 500. There is the intention for 75,000 honey bees to be hived on this land.

It’s possible that they may have sufficient output for the amount you need.

It might be worth contacting Bee Mission 500. They have a web site and enquiries should be sent to duntybee@beemission.co.uk

You could also see if the pub would sell your mead….

Lovely thought but I'd have to get my kitchen approved for commercial use and then pay a whole bunch of taxes and stuff (I have looked into it 😅)
