Marlow FM Interview With Chiltern Bee

Click on the Video to hear the recent interview with Marlow FM which covers how we started, interesting bee facts as well as some information about our products (note this is audio only)

CHILTERN BEE

Our Story

Forget the glossy website, Chiltern Bee is just me (John) and my bees.

 I started bee keeping and my neighbour asked me not to keep them in the garden (allergy) so I put a card in the village shop in Hambleden, a village near Henley, to see if anyone would like bees on their land.
 

I had folk in Hambleden as well as the surrounding hamlets (Frieth, Skirmett, Fingest) contact me, hives were set-up and “Chiltern Bee” created. I now have hives at seven sites in and around the Hambleden Valley.
 

It is very much low intensity bee keeping. The most hives I have at any one site is four, many of the hives I’ve made myself, most of the bees I have raised myself, so if you think “Cottage Industry” you’ll not be far from the mark.
 

Unlike many “commercial” bee set-ups I only keep bees that I have raised myself, open mated in the Chilterns, so supporting our native bee population (many beekeepers import non-UK species). Another difference is that although honey is something we produce (and is delicious!), the real area of interest is beeswax, one of natures most amazing materials....

What's different?
