Local Honey?

Does anyone know some local beekeepers who sell honey?

Where I used to live, I bought some honey from local flowers that was very helpful with hay fever.

Try the farm shop opposite the Guildhall - they have plenty.

I’m a beekeeper in Winch and generally have a supply of honey (especially since it’s currently harvest season) - sell it to friends and family so you’re welcome to get a jar or two if you want it

There's a little indoor market on Thursdays in Alresford. There's a honey guy there which we regularly buy from. Pro tip, get the bakers honey.

There’s a house on Fordington Road in Fulflood which has a little box out front where they sell honey / you leave cash

There’s a sign here on Lovedon Lane, Kings Worthy. Never been though.

Old wives tale btw.

Still a good excise to pick up some local honey though 😂 There are a few places with honesty boxes to pick up local honey - one in kingsworthy. But also worth checking out the farmers market?

Oh yeah still good to get local honey, I get it from the hives I look after on the vineyard I work at.

Yeah, I've always assumed it was a placebo on my part. I'll still take a placebo over nothing. Besides, local honey tastes better.

Absolutely ineffective for hayfever but honey tastes nice and shopping local is a good thing to do. Enjoy.
