Love beekeeping and raw homemade honey, but not the heavy lifting, sticky mess, or specialised equipment needed to harvest it yourself? Our honey extraction service takes care of everything from start to finish at your apiary, including:
Removing honey boxes from your hives
Gently clearing bees from the frames
On-site extraction using a solar-powered 8-frame centrifugal spinner (food-safe and steralised after each use to eliminate risk of disease or contamination)
Filtration and jarring of honey ready for you to eat
Returning empty honey boxes to your hives
When you book this service you will be asked to leave your name, email address, and phone number. We will contact you to arrange the best day for extraction.
*** PRICE SHOWN IS A DEPOSIT OF £50 ***
This service starts at £50 plus the location of your apiary (£0.30/mile), the number of frames being extracted (£2/frame), and the number of jars supplied (£2/jar). Email us on foragerbeesltd@gmail.com for more information.
If you farm OSR, beans, or borage and want to double your harvest, book a pollination service FREE OF CHARGE. We will bring approximately 20 hives to your field during the flowering period of your crop to guarantee maximum pollination.
We will need reliable vehicle access to be able to inspect the hives once per week, and will contact you before each visit onto your land. When you book this service you will be asked to leave your name, email address, and phone number. We will contact you to arrange a pollination service. Or if you have any questions, email us at foragerbeesltd@gmail.com
