Welcome to St Pegas Honey

I’m a hobby beekeeper based in Peakirk, Cambridgeshire.  Running less than ten twenty hives for my own enjoyment.  I started beekeeping in 2011, starting with one hive after attending the Peterborough Beekeepers beginners course.

So for example, there will be updates on the hives and honey situation, as well as notes on my various attempts at DIY!
