Meet the maker: Spring Cottage Honey

Visit the National Trust shop at Trelissick on Wednesday 24 June to meet the makers behind Probus’ Spring Cottage Cornish Honey.

They'll be with us between 1pm and 3.30pm with tastings and a range of their locally harvested honey.

With over a century of family beekeeping experience passed down through generations, Spring Cottage Cornish Honey still manage their bees using those very traditional methods.

Their happy bees are lovingly nurtured in orchards, woodland farms, re-wilding projects, old market gardens and biodiversity projects in Mid-Cornwall, all within a short radius of their home apiary at the cottage garden, Probus, Truro.

The distinctive character of each apiary’s flora means their bees produce a range of different coloured and textured honeys, all suffused with the delicate flavours of the countryside.

To bring you the best honeys, full of all the pollens and enzymes the bees themselves would enjoy, nothing is added or taken away so that you can enjoy delicious Cornish honey, straight from the hives, just as nature intended.
