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.

This hands-on, friendly course is run by local expert and founder of Knights Beekeeping, Martin Knight, alongside our PIG team! It’s perfect for those who want to learn what all the buzz is about when it comes down to our pollinator friends, bees.
Throughout the day you'll learn how to get started and key basics of beekeeping, how to open up a hive and what to look for inside, plus so much more.
You’ll recharge with a relaxed two course lunch, and then suit up and 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 different types of honey and hive products - tasting a few as you go!

Over a decade ago Martin started keeping bees, all from the idea that local honey would help his daughter's hay fever... and yes, it does work! He decided that he would like to dig down into the world of bees, and learn more about these fuzzy little creatures!
Since the moment he opened his first hive, he was a-buzz with a newfound passion! Martin knew that he wanted to channel it into teaching others to learn all that he knew, and that's how Knights Beekeeping was born.
