GREEN VALLEYS

FRESH & SWEET AS HONEY.

We are expert beekeepers and honey connoisseurs with our own apiaries, real honey shop and a lifelong bee photography passion with more than a fair share of bee stings to prove it!

Our mission

Green Valleys is Brighton based real honey company.

We are not just selling the honey- we are Beekeepers and have our own apiaries dotted around beautiful areas of East and West Sussex. We also specialise in selling wide variety or honey sourced from our beekeeping friends in sustainable regions across the world.

Our hope is that these backyard hives will facilitate a dialogue among neighbours, friends, family and the community at large about the huge importance of bees.

Green valleys provides most of my delicious and nutritious gifts on any occasion as well as furnishing my own larder with amazing honey and my home with beautiful long lasting beeswax candles. I have to discipline myself not to spend all my time and money there. All very good value too and the proprietor and staff are delightful and passionate about bees - and honey too. The variety and quality are also astounding. Thanks Chris and family!

Julia Customer

We've been getting our honey from Chris for a long time as we're always welcomed with a big smile, an informative chat on all there is to know about honey & it's blooming delicious! We've just enjoyed the delicious honey from your own hive & it was the best yet! Thanks Chris:)

Cara Customer

Bought some raspberry honey today absolutely delicious. It's hard to stop myself eating by the spoonful straight from the jar!

Sophie Customer

The biggest range of honey for miles & miles! There are so many to chose from, but I recommend the Leatherwood or Royal Jelly honeys. A good place to pick up propolis & bee pollen too!

Mission accomplished 👍.
There were two weak colonies, one of them queenless. For a couple of days newspaper divided those families. I have punched little holes to allow the bees to know each other. As you can see they chewed a bigger hole and merged together. Now combined, bigger colony is almost ready for winter 👍👍👍.

Late summer. Wasps might be real threat for bees,

Late summer. Wasps might be real threat for bees, especially small colony. They are very aggressive and persistent. One v One bee does not stand a chance against wasp. It takes 3-4 bees to have a fair fight with wasp.
Closing entry to the hive usually does the job, but sometimes even gap like this one on video is too big.

Practically those days are the last in this season

Practically those days are the last in this season. Bees are working hard filling frames with nectar.
Quick inspections nowadays : lift the roof, check how full the hive it is, close the roof 🤣, and very important now check the entrance for wasps activity. They are becoming increasingly active and might be real threat for weak hive. I will my bees two weeks to finish the business and we going to prepare for winter.

Despite weather being not stable at all this year, bees were very busy and produced quite a lot of honey.
And they didn't stop. After extract those frames they are going back to hives.

While some of you were still in warm bed, we were already in forest harvesting honey 🍯👍.
Better than gym 💪. Not possible to get car next to hives, I had to carry heavy boxes (trust me they are full of honey) through forest terrain. A lot of fun 👍👍😂.
But as you can see tower of honey is taller than my self. Couldn't fit all into the car. Need bigger? 🤔🤔
Nothing better than hard job in the morning. Afternoon repeat, hives are full.
But reward is sweet 😊😊😊

A few days after due date for new queen to hatch I

A few days after due date for new queen to hatch I opened the cell to find dead larvae inside. I knew something was wrong because bees didn't pay any interest to this cell. When bees are expecting new queen they are around queen cell constantly. I think firstly they check is everything ok inside and also give queen inside the cell reassurance that she is safe. That's my theory 😊😊.
Having a spare queens, I introduced one to them to this unit. Seems like she was accepted, though nothing is certain in beekeeping world so I will be visiting the hive today to check. I should find eggs already!!!
