New Bee Hives on the Estate
29 Sep 2016
Message from our bee keepers V&L Honeymakers
"Our thanks to the Great Tew Estate for giving our honeybees a warm welcome this autumn! They have settled in well, and are already bringing ivy pollen back to the hives to provide food for the colonies over the coming months. Soon they will start to go into their overwintering mode (or hibernation), until the spring, when they emerge again from their hives, and go in search of plants, flowers and crops; gathering pollen and nectar to turn into delicious golden honey. Hopefully we’ll all get to taste this too! We know our bees will be very happy living in their new beautiful, natural and healthy habitat!"

Grantchester Filming

For those of you who know Grantchester the series is set in beautiful British countryside so Great Tew was the perfect location. The village became a hive of activity as cast and crew descended upon us. The weather was kind and there was an air of excitement as we all hoped to catch a glimpse of James Norton - rumoured to be the next James Bond !
The third season of the show will air in 2017.
