Whyteleafe Apiary, is the centre of operation of East Surrey Bees. Here we run
practical courses throughout the active beekeeping season (April to September.) We
have a number of hives of different types including, WBC, commercial, Dartington Long Hive, Langstroth, National and the 14
x12” national hive.
We produce nuclei for spring/early summer sale
and while the majority of our honey production uses National, 14x12 and Commercial hives, we can produce nucleus colonies
for other hive sizes if required.
During
the season we have regular meetings and aim to further the science of beekeeping, keeping up to date with developments as
they happen. Courses are led by experienced beekeepers and can be taylored to your needs.
