Tropical fruit up front, then deep toffee and caramel. Almost impossible to put the spoon down.
This August harvest from Kaz's Petworth apiary opens somewhere unexpected and then settles into something deeply comforting. The kind of honey that makes you go back for one more spoonful, then another. Rich, warming and layered — completely different from her Pulborough woodland honey, despite being made by the same beekeeper just a few miles away.
360 jars made. August. Late summer in a spoon.
Kaz's bees here are kept by open fields just outside Petworth, within foraging distance of Ebernoe Common and Nature Reserve — one of the most species-rich ancient woodlands in the South East. The landscape couldn't be more different from her Pulborough woodland apiary, and the honey reflects it completely. I visited on a damp November day and even in the grey it was a beautiful spot — the kind of place that makes you understand exactly why the bees do so well there.
Kaz trained as an engineer before beekeeping took over completely — she spent years working with beekeepers across the UK and New Zealand before setting up on her own. She now manages over 50 hives across Sussex, bringing the same precision to her beekeeping that she once brought to engineering. Every apiary is chosen with care, and every honey shows it.
