Quince Honey Farm

This family run farm operates 1500 hives over an area of some 2500 square miles

Quince Honey Farm is a family run business which has
been producing quality honey since 1949. Our 1500 hives
are kept deep in the North Devon Countryside amongst
the wild flowers from which the bees collect their sweet
nectar. Every August, when Exmoor turns purple, all of
the hives are moved up to the moors to collect the
exquisite Exmoor Heather Honey.Beeworld is Quince
Honey Farms renowned exhibition of honeybees.


Nowhere else in the world can visitors get such an up
close view of the inner workings of the honeybee society
without needing protective equipment. 18 observation
hives are on display, many of which can be opened by
you the visitor. Beeworld contains a wealth of
information about honeybees and mans obsession
with them for the last 10,000 years. New displays are
added every year; recent additions include A year in the
life of the beekeeper, The life of the bee, Honeybee
Communication and The history of Beekeeping.

Brand new for 2011 is The Happy Bee Playhive. A new
building containing an indoor soft play area and a
colony of leaf cutting ants! Children can play to their
hearts’ content while parents enjoy a nice cuppa or
a Devonshire cream tea from the Café, and watch the
Ants go about their business of cutting leaves and
carrying them back to the nest!

No visit to Quince Honey Farm is complete without a
visit to the Shop. A chance to take home a pot of delicious
honey from some of the bees you’ve seen at hard at work,
and best of all you are encouraged to take advantage
of the free honey tastings.

If you’re feeling really naughty treat
yourself to some award winning Devon honey ice cream.
If you want somewhere fun with the added bonus of
learning something for yourselves and educating the kids
then Quince Honey Farm is the place for you!
