Howard's bees live in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, with the original Blaisdon Plum orchard just over the hedge from their hives. The Blaisdon Plum is a traditional English variety first discovered growing in a village hedge in 1892 — at its peak, there were around 500 acres of Blaisdon plum orchards in this part of Gloucestershire. Most are gone now, lost as cheaper imported varieties took over. Howard's bees are among the rare few that still get to forage on them. And this honey is the result: clear and luminously light, with a flavour that opens floral and mild and then shifts — slowly, unmistakably — into something smoky and long-lasting that stays in your mouth long after the spoonful is gone. There is genuinely nothing else like it. The kind of extraordinary honey that people who thought they knew what honey tasted like just love discovering — and then can't stop thinking about.
Howard uprooted from Surrey to move to the Forest of Dean specifically to give his bees more space — a new home, a new job, and by all accounts not a moment's regret. If you can find a Blaisdon Plum tree to plant, Howard would almost certainly approve.
