There's been a buzz around Mone Brothers' Blackhill Quarry site in Bramhope, County West Yorkshire, northern England, in recent months with over 75,000 workers delivering the sweet taste of honey.

The worker bees, based in three hives on the quarry site, have managed to produce twelve 370g jars which were sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Bees wax and candles are also available.

“This really is the bees-knees in what is Mone Brothers golden anniversary year. It's proof that there are many benefits to preserving and protecting our endangered bee species,” says Craig Morrell, quarry manager.
