A range of trees and saplings including Hawthorne, Field Maple, Bird Cherry, Dog Rose, English Oak Trees, Guelder Rose, Hornbeam and Hazel.
Seeds are collected late summer each year ready to resow and expand our wildflower meadow specifically with species which will attractive all pollinators and/ if are/ honest are visually outstanding for us too to enjoy.
Our packaging is typically sent in reused boxes, we have no printed marketing collateral, we use no pesticides or weedkiller on our 5-acre site, our offices are furnished with charity shop preloved quality items.
If each of us can make small changes the collective impact is far greater and we therefore thank you for taking an interest in our company and products.

Our range of eco hive products celebrate the magical properties of beeswax, honey and propolis. The hardworking bees are amazing in thier ability to work, communicate and produce such volumes of valuable goodies. As beekeepers we never rob the colony of thier supplies or steal thier food. We practice natural beekeeping which essentially means we are here to aid thier wellbeing, welfare and reproduction.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...
“I feel very lucky to have the Elisabeth’s Oakdale Apiary on the doorstep, here at The Greene Oak.”
“Elisabeth’s Oakdale honeybees certainly do an amazing job, flying out over the wild flower fields of Berkshire and the grand and beautiful Windsor Great park. Returning to Oakdale with their fragrant harvest of Foraged herbs and wild flower to produce a seasonal honey with a rich, dark amber hew, wonderful floral notes and long, mild honey finish. “
Jamie - Head Chef Greene Oak, Oakley Green Windsor.
