Honey from bees kept in a back garden, near Pickering, North Yorkshire

This honey was taken from the bees Stephen keeps in his rural garden near Pickering, North Yorkshire overlooking the Castle's old hunting grounds. It was taken in June when the bees would have been visiting the hawthorn, blackthorn, apple blossoms and dandelions.

This honey is pale with a grain to it, making it perfect for spreading on toast as it won't run far! it has a lovely warm, rich and long lasting flavour note to it, and only 124 jars of it produced!

Limited edition: 1 of  only 124 jars

Size: 224g / 8oz jars

The story of the beekeeper included

PROVENANCE

Stephen is a vet and looks after the large farm animals around him in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. At home he added bees to the household's menagerie back in 2015. It was a friend who got him started, giving him a swarm to look after. He now has around 11 hives dotted around his garden.

SUSTAINABILITY

We work with small scale British beekeepers who we visit to talk bees with and see the bees and landscapes that make each honey. All of our beekeepers are good custodians of their bees and the woodlands, meadows, gardens and fields they keep them in. They talk to local farmers, landowners, fellow allotment owners and councils to encourage planting for pollinators, sustainable woodland management and protecting the natural landscape for their bees.  Our aim is to bring you special limited edition honeys from more and more British beekeepers: as long as they're good custodians of their bees of course!

Our jars and labels are all British sourced to keep our transport miles and carbon footprint low. We absorb the extra cost
