Beehives in ED?

[treehugger]

Does anyone have beehives locally? The lavender in our front garden is attracting loads of bees and butterflies this summer. I wonder if these bees are from local hives, if so, I would love to buy some local honey....

There is a bee man sells honey at events like the wildlife garden and nunhead cemetery open day

Thanks for these links Fuschia. I will go to Pretty T and to ED Deli and see what they have.

Very interesting. I've also noticed tons of bees in our garden this year which I've found encouraging given all the recent publicity surrounding neonicotinoids.

You can usually get honey from my dad's hives at the Cheese Block

are they honey bees or big bumble bees? I only ever really see big bumble bees

There is also a honey bee hive in the community garden area of Peckham Rye park, it's only open for a few hours each day, completely found it by accident the other day.

The lavendar in our front garden is full of honey bees and butterflies. I am so glad we planted it a coupel of years ago. I now feel very eco-friendly!

There are also hives on Melbourne Grove between the Italian and the solicitors.
