Foxes Honey: The Full Story
A Nature-Loving Family
"Natural quality honey" is our motto here at Foxes Honey. What started as a hobby in 2018, after attending a basic introduction to keeping bees held by the Whitstable and Herne Bay Beekeepers, I became hooked. Soon, I attended weekly meetings at the local teaching apiary. On May 24th 2019, I captured a swarm with Sam Day, one of my mentors. The bees multiplied like mad, requiring me to get a full-sized hive and honey supers in my first season. I enlisted my daughter Kerry on this adventure, and she has also become a local club member. We had a crop of honey weighing in at 25lb. In 2020, we had three hives and a just over 100lb yield. We are still expanding. We now have 47 production colonies on farms in Kent and are looking at expanding to 60 hives this year; my wife, Elaine, joined me in keeping the bees. Our business is now thriving. 2024 has been the best season so far. We have harvested our largest crop to date. We are committed to producing natural, eco-friendly, healthy goods at affordable prices in everything we do. If you want to learn more, get in touch today.
