About Us
Paynes was started in 1922 by Fred Payne. With just a few hives, he became well known in the beekeeping world, selling honey to the Local shops and helping many other beekeepers.
Since then, the business has grown and is still family run. With a team of dedicated beekeepers looking after almost 500 honey production hives spread across the Sussex Downs, and many other hundreds of hives ready for breeding, raising Queens and selling.
