- Willie Robson has been a full-time commercial beekeeper for 60 years, keeping black bees in the traditional manner producing oil seed rape, heather and cut comb honey as well as cosmetics and polish. Chain Bridge Honey Farm is presently trading directly into 500 retail outlets, selling products that are produced from their bees that are kept within 40 miles of Berwick - upon - Tweed. There is an extensive visitor centre on the banks of the River Tweed. Like many others, Willie is currently experiencing difficult times with the bees due to queenlessness.
Willie Robson heads the well-known Chain Bridge Honey Farm based in Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. In 60 years of making a living from working bees in difficult conditions, he has developed ways of managing the bees using methods that many beekeepers will be unfamiliar with and may not be in books. In this wide ranging talk, Willie will cover some of what he has learnt and done for well over half a century, that will include hive manufacture, processing and marketing his products and the kind of bees that will survive and produce good honey crops in a harsh environment.
