Thornes of Devon
Our newest branch - Thornes of Devon is located within the grounds of Quince Honey Farm.
We were very excited recently to open our third branch in the south of the UK. Thornes of Devon is ideally situated just south of Exmoor within the grounds of Quince Honey Farm.
The bright, spacious shop carries a huge range of both beekeeping and candlemaking equipment. We are lucky to have three managers, Abi, Pete and Nancy - all beekeepers in their own right.
Thornes of Devon are happy to take in beeswax to exchange for foundation.
We have an annual sale day at Thornes of Devon every September.
