De-Bees apiaries; our apiaries.

We run three main apiaries for different uses

" Big " in Exmouth

Our main apiary on Liverton Farm. Lower in the picture & Top-de-Hill behind the bramble divide. Honey is prioritised for the farm shop.

Our woodland apiary. Here we mainly expand nuc's and store spare stocks. Summer honey is predominantly Clover and Sweet Chestnut..

Our orchard apiary. Mainly a honey producing and queen mating site. Surrounded by grazed pasture, woodlands, and pebble-bed heath.

Bees at Big.Goat were moved out to reduce the local stocking density. The new site will develop over 2026 season.

Zoë manages the University of Exeter Research Apiary as part of her role at UoE. Also other apiaries on behalf of Apiary Services customers.
