Paynes was started in 1922 by Fred Payne. With just a few hundred 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 still family run with around 1500 hives spread across the Sussex Downs and now supplying shops and outlets across the uk with their range of honeys and beeswax products.
Paynes has become well known for their range of poly hives, since introducing the mainstream UK beekeeping market to them in 2009. As avid users themselves of polyhives, switching over from the traditional wooden hives to the more modern material, they have seen firsthand the benefits for the bees. Paynes remain committed to offering the best in poly hives that the UK market can offer and has continued to improve and increase the range of poly products available for the beekeeper over the years.
