We have always championed simple, fresh, and honest ingredients grown and cultivated by our hard-working teams in our Kitchen Gardens – and our bees have become a key feature, sipping summer nectar from our wildflower meadows across our grounds, pollinating across our patch, and our produce and providing the perfect essentials to our breakfast tables.
Our apiary has grown to over 80 hives across THE PIGs and, last year alone, we extracted more than 1,500 kilograms of raw, unpasteurised, and unprocessed delicious honey! So, join us this May with our buzzy, fuzzy friends and learn how to bring the sweet taste of THE PIG, for a taste of how to bring the sweet life home, in our brand-new workshop.
Dive into the world of Beekeeping at THE PIG-at Combe with our new, full-day workshop.
Run by our very own local bee expert Steve Minshall, alongside our PIG team, this hands-on workshop is perfect for those who want to learn what all the buzz is about when it comes to our pollinator friends, bees.
Throughout the day, you'll learn about different types of honey and hive products (tasting a few as you go!), gain an understanding of bee behaviour, discover how to open up a hive and what to look for inside, plus so much more. You’ll recharge with a relaxed lunch in The Folly, and then take a trip down to our hives, where you'll have the chance to see the bees in action! The day will wrap up with a session on collecting honey, supporting pollinators, and how to get started with your own hive at home.
