OUR HISTORY
Bury Bees collect nectar and pollen from a variety of flowers and trees in and around the villages of Bury and West Burton, situated in the Sussex South Downs National Park.
We have had apiaries in the area since 2009.
Our honey is sold pure and untreated, just as the bees have made it.
