Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Winnie the Pooh with Fortnum and Mason.
Did you know, on their Piccadilly rooftop since 2008, there are four beehives standing at six feet high, almost twice the height of a normal beehive, each with a distinct triumphal arch entrance designed in a different architectural style – Roman, Mughal, Chinese and Gothic. Now you can see bee installations on the front of the world famous London store and in St Pancras International.
Over the last 15 years the bees have been busy producing honey so delicious that there's a waiting list for their produce. The honey, called simply Piccadilly London Honey, varies from year to year, depending on the flora available to the bees journeys through London’s nearby parks and gardens, including Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Hyde Park and Green Park.
Last seen buzzing over the famous facade of our Piccadilly store and our beehive installation at St. Pancras International, Fortnum & Mason are delighted to be auctioning a selection of oversized golden bees to raise money for the British Beekeepers Association. Each bee is individually numbered, and certain to become a treasured heirloom.
Reach Picadilly with a walk across Hye Park – steps from our Front Door. A perfect trip for Summer Holidays.
