Welcome To Roper's Honey

The largest honey producers in Derbyshire.

We've been in business since 1997, although keeping bees has been in the family since the late 1950's. 

We currently have just over 100 colonies of bees spread around Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire managed by 3 beekeepers (Father, son and grandson) and 2 wana-bees (aged 11yrs and 9yrs).

We're based in a small village called Glapwell in Chesterfield, Derbyshire (near Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall).

The picture to the left is our Sutton Woods Apiary, this apiary was set up by my father in the late 50s & is still very much in use today, it is currently occupied by 26 colonies of bees, we also use this apiary for demonstration purposes.
