The Deben Seal
This is the home of the bee cafe sited outside the Deben Seal (Ego) Hostelry, situated in the Maidensgrave area of Woodbridge.
This bee cafe was the first cafe that required a highways licence as not only is it sited in a grass verge maintained by Suffolk County Council but it is adjacent to two public highways.
Consequently, a great deal of time and effort was expended by those involved to complete the necessary paperwork and obtain the coveted permissions.
Success with this venture allowed the Melton Bee Cafes to proceed in a timely manner.
Current Status of The Deben Seal
The Deben Seal, our beloved bee cafe located outside the Ego Hostelry in Woodbridge, is currently thriving. As of the latest readings, the water level stands at 38.60, with a temperature of 16.26°C and a conductivity of 795. These metrics indicate a stable environment for our bees, which is essential for their health and productivity.
Recent Activity
In the past six months, the only recorded activity was a watering event on April 22, 2026. This suggests that maintenance efforts are being carried out regularly to ensure the cafe remains a welcoming space for our bees and visitors alike.
