The Sussex Bee is a small-scale apiary nestled in the heart of Sussex, run by Lia in partnership with over one million bees.

Having tended bees since childhood, Lia learned the art of beekeeping from her father, who has cared for honeybees for more than fifty years and continues to do so today.

Her traditional wooden hives are set within ancient woodland in the village of Ansty, overlooking two naturally seeded wildflower meadows. The richness and diversity of this flora are reflected in the flavour of The Sussex Bee honey. Each hand-poured batch is unique, capturing the seasonal nuances of the Sussex countryside.

In recent years, Lia has also established several small out-apiaries across Sussex, allowing her bees to forage among orchard blossoms and the wild flora of the surrounding landscape.
