Honey from a garden, Dulwich, London

Jammy and fruity, with an unexpected lift of orange that takes it somewhere completely its own.

Sue's Dulwich and Tooting honeys both have the same jammy fruity flavour note, but this Dulwich July harvest adds a distinct orange citrus note that lifts the whole flavour somewhere unexpected. Dulwich is exactly the kind of London suburb that bees thrive in, and every foraging source finds its way into the jar.

120 jars, taken off the hive on 5th July. Once they're gone, that's it.

Dulwich's leafy streets, mature gardens, allotments, parks and tree-lined avenues give Sue's bees an extraordinary range within easy foraging distance. Every one of those sources finds its way into the jar.

Sue came to beekeeping through her father — his beekeeping store, with its smell of cedarwood hives and warm wax, is one of her earliest childhood memories. She spent most of her working life as a gardener and caretaker, keeping bees as a beloved hobby alongside it. Retirement has meant more time with her bees, and you can feel that unhurried care in every harvest she produces.
