Sinah Common Honey

General information

We are a very small scale and very local honey producer. We manage several small apiaries with a total of 100 colonies of honeybees.

Beekeeping requires an enormous amount of 'attention to detail' and our bees are cared for very well and they are housed together in purpose built apiaries.

We run beginners beekeeping courses twice a year and stock of a wide range of beekeeping equipment which we can supply with generous discounts. We also supply our own starter bee colonies and queen bees bred within our apiaries and from our high quality bee stock.

Sinah Common is an environmentally sensitive area located in the south west corner of Hayling Island. Nestled in the gap between the southern and northern shore-lines, the common was used by the military during the second world war and now accommodates more sedate activities such as golf, rambling and fishing.

The flora and fauna are extensive and in the spring the wild flowers such as clover, buttercup, crab-apple and seaside pansies are in abundance.

In the summer these give way to blackberry, hawthorne, tree lupin and burdock.

The flowers all grow gently in the sea breeze only interrupted by the strike of a golf ball at the nearby famous link course, or the gentle sound of a fishing reel at the fishing lake.

There are a variety of walks along the shoreline and across the common and all the while, in the background, hardly noticeable....our bees are busy at work collecting nectar and pollen to make a golden treat.

Our honey is in high demand and very popular. We sell our honey at our front door, via local farmers markets, farm shops and we are proud to be a supplier to Southern Co-operative stores.

We also supply a range of beautiful stylish and natural wedding favours called 'Meant 2 Bee', our wedding favours comprise local honey, beeswax candles and selected seeds for pollinators.

Please also remember that we are always available to help collecting honey bee-swarms.
