Honey from bees kept by fields, Goring, Berkshire

This honey was taken from the bees Mike keeps by fields used for grazing.  Goring and the surrounding countryside is lovely, a chocolate box place – lucky bees (and Mike!). The honey is just as you imagine when you think of honey: comforting, smooth, thick enough to spread and very easy to eat!

Limited edition: 1 of  only  xxx jars

The story of the beekeeper included

PROVENANCE

Mike started beekeeping over 25 years ago when he heard someone on a Radio 4 gardening programme say ‘beekeeping is a lovely hobby as you only do it in the good weather’. He was hooked and never looked back! I really enjoyed visiting him and his wife and hearing his beekeeping stories. Mike has a wonderful turn of phrase and wisdom: he told me ‘whatever fills your sails is good for you’ – I couldn’t agree more.

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  

DELIVERY

Sent by 2^nd class tracked postage with Royal Mail, with postage charged depending on weight. So my Top Tip - postage on 2 or 3 jars costs the same as it does for one jar, just saying ;)

Our honeys are safely packed in Yorkshire hay and British sourced cardboard boxes, Opening the box is a treat with the sweet smell of summer and our jar of honey nestling inside.
