Sponsor a Hive
Sponsor a hive at Isle of Wight Bees.
Honey bees are an important species in the pollination cycle, critical for the survival of rural, urban and agricultural environments.
When you sponsor a hive with us, you will help to support these vital pollinators. You will receive a framed sponsorship certificate, photos of your hive in its location will be sent via email, 4 jars of honey from your hive, updates on your bee’s development and a plaque with your name or company details on the side of the hive. Businesses will also get the opportunity to have their link on the IOW Bees website and social media platforms.
Sponsorship makes a wonderful gift for a friend or loved one as well as providing a great opportunity for businesses to demonstrate their ethical, sustainable, and green credentials.
All of our hives are managed by Christine McClellan who is a registered Bee Farmer, a member of the Isle of Wight Beekeeping Association and DASH (Disease Assurance Scheme for Honeybees) accredited.
One hive – £250.00 p.a. Multiple hives £200.00 per hive p.a.

Isle of Wight Distillery
Inspired by our Island home, we craft premium small-batch spirits using ethically sourced and locally foraged ingredients.
Our Mermaid Spiced Rum celebrates Isle of Wight provenance, sweetened with honey from Isle of Wight Bees. White cherries and apricots, pollinated by local honey bees, bring vibrant fruit notes, alongside delicate caramel and warming spice. Honey bees play a vital role in supporting the Island’s biodiversity and the landscape that inspires us.

Tipsy Wight
We grow and forage natural ingredients from the fields and hedgerows on the Isle of Wight, then gently steep them in fine British vodka for absolutely ages.
Bees & other pollinating insects are vital for all the flowers & berries that we use for our flavours. Honey is also used in two Tipsy Wight infusions so we love honeybees! Our vodkas and liqueurs are lovingly prepared by hand from berry to bottle, so you can enjoy the exquisite, mouthwatering taste of the English countryside all year round.
