We Have Closed
We have stopped taking orders while we finalise our final few days
Thank you!
I would just like to say thank you to everyone that has supported us, whether that is over the last few days or at some stage over the course of our companies long journey. It has been so very touching hearing and seeing all the kind comments and feedback we've got since announcing our clearance sale. I know that my dad would have been so touched too, along with my uncle Peter, my grandma Betty and my grandfather, Fred. It doesn't end totally for some of us, but just like any beekeeper, we have to adapt and adjust according to the season and this is what we are doing. See you out there for the next bee season.
For those of you that have placed an order with us and taken advantage of the discounts, thank you! We sold over 45,000 items in the first 12 hours of the sale and now we have a huge amount of orders to process. Please do bear with us, we are working as fast as we can to get the orders processed and out to you.
Wait? What?
Yes, Paynes will be closing it's doors. While some family members will be retiring, and others moving on into new industries, others will remain in the beekeeping world.
Roger and Becky will be continuing with their beekeeping journey but on a much smaller, more manageable scale. They will continue to supply nucs and Queens going forward.
As we are stopping equipment sales, the rights to the poly hive and poly nuc moulding will be sold on so they can continue to be on the market for everyone. Details about availability will follow later on.
As we are closing down, we are clearing out the warehouses and everything must go. This is why there are huge discounts across the range. Everything must go and once it's gone, we won't be getting more in stock again.
As with our previous sales, although we try to dispatch within a day or so, there is normally high demand and a few days longer should be expected. Being that this is our biggest and largest sale, please allow us even more time for processing. Thank you for understanding.
Welcome to Paynes
Paynes have been around for ages, since 1922 in fact. We operate around 1500 bee hives all along the South Downs area, producing our own local English honey. With all that experience, our ability to advise you about beekeeping or honey, is unparalleled and we are always glad to help new beekeepers start up, as well as guide the more experienced ones.
Specialising in our own brand of poly hives, designed and manufactured in the UK, we strongly feel these have huge benefits for honeybees and we dramatically changed how we do beekeeping for the better. We also stock a wide range of other beekeeping equipment to help support you, whether you have 1 hive or 1000 hives.
