Welcome to Houghton Bridge Honey Bees. Our apiary is in the heart of West Sussex and home to over 10 hives of bees who roam freely around the South Downs and Amberly.
Spring 2019
This season we've been as busy as the bees setting up our new hives and cafe. We're excited to start the new year launching our new site.
Houghton, West Sussex
Houghton is a low-population, linear settlement with a large elevated tract of land which is mostly wooded and two main farms forming its civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is on the River Arun, where it has a bridge to a rural part of Amberley, 3 miles (5 km) north of Arundel. The area is, equally, part of the South Downs National Park. The census 2011 included the population of South Stoke.
