Hive & Keeper: Keeping it Natural & British
I thought that all honey tasted ‘like honey’ – same flavour, same textures just because that was the way I was seeing it in shops.
I was wrong!
This sparked my love and appreciation of the character of every single honey.
I am passionate about championing against a culture where natural differences are ironed out so everything looks and tastes the same. It's not just boring but it disconnects us from nature and everything that's incredible about the bees that made it.
I want to lead the fight against lazy sustainability, connect producer to consumers and all of us to our planet. Giving you the opportunity to choose
nature over the homogenous.
And so Hive & Keeper was born. A curation of British limited editions, each naturally different. Championing British bees and small scale beekeepers and keeping provenance, great design, the natural world and treading lightly on the planet at the heart of what we do:
Keeping it Natural and Keeping it British.
Hive & Keeper is a British brand that puts provenance, great design, natural materials and treading lightly on the planet at the heart of what we do.
We work with British artisans and heritage industries to create beautiful lifestyle products to make home even more wonderful.
Our designs embrace the natural variation in the British leathers, woods, wools and honeys we use to make beautiful things for your home.
Nature is never the same, and we love reflecting that difference.
We refuse to tick-box or to mislead you with marketing-speak that’s only sort of true, so when we say something we mean it.
If you see our Queen Bee on the label you'll know that she's there because:
- We know exactly how and where in the UK it was made
- It is made completely from natural materials without plastics or synthetics
- it is made in the UK by people who love what they do and take their environmental responsibilities seriously
