This honey is pale and creamy and people love it, it reminds them of how honey used to taste when they were little! I have to agree, it has a confectionery feel to it, but then a savoury end note so it's not too sweet at all. Perfect on toast and totally more-ish!

Matthew keeps his bees on and around the family farm on the border of Warwickshire and Staffordshire.

He started beekeeping at University. He taught himself at the start by watching lots of videos and then a season spent working on a bee farm in Australia that gave him the confidence to go for it back home!

This honey is very light, clear and smooth. Its flavour starts off floral and mild and then becomes smokey with a flavour that stays long in your mouth. It's a totally unique honey! 

Howard moved from Surrey to Forest of Dean to find his bees more space and he's chosen a great spot with the original Blasidon Plum orchard just over the hedge.

The Blasidon Plum is a traditional English variety that's great for jam!  The first tree was apparently discovered in a hedge in Blasidon village by a man called John Dowding in 1892.  Around 100 years ago there used to be about 500 acres of Blaisdon plum orchards in the area, but most are now lost as we started to import cheaper varieties.

This honey has the creamy texture of clotted cream, tasting of clover and fresh green foliage - which sounds weird, but it's a honey that is more vegetal than it is fruity. It's a totally delicious honey with a complex flavour and definitely worth a try as there's only 120 jars in existence!

John keeps bees in his own garden in Hampshire, the hives are surrounded by pasture, trees, hedgerows and other rural gardens.

Until recently John combined beekeeping with shepherding; raising lambs over winter, and then beekeeping in the spring Now he’s cut back and focuses only on his bees
