Just back from 3 days in the Borders and by chance we were staying within a mile of Chain Bridge Honey Farm run by Willie Robson and his family. They welcome visitors and have a superb exhibition of all aspects of bees and beekeeping beautifully written out by someone with a gift for calligraphy. Willie's wife was manning (OK, womanning) the office and was very welcoming. It is great to see a family business doing well, even in a run of difficult summers for beekeeping. The do the full range of activities including making ointments, balms and other products of the hive. Highly recommended if you are in the area or passing Berwick with an hour or two to spare.
They are just a hundred yards the wrong side of the border over a historic (and apparently weak) bridge with the road closed on the far side. I wouldn't like to be driving one of their trucks if the the honey harvest in 2013 is a bumper one!
Their own web site (http://www.chainbridgehoney.co.uk/) seems to be down at the moment but Google have something to say (https://plus.google.com/100394996894824435117/about?hl=en).
