Honey from bees kept in a back garden, Pickering, North Yorkshire, August.
This honey was taken from the bees Stephen keeps in his rural garden near Pickering, North Yorkshire, overlooking the Castle’s old hunting grounds. It was taken in August and is delicious!
It’s a pale honey with a really smooth texture, shiny when you spoon it out. It would be perfect on toast, or easily stirred into your breakfast to add lovely flavour notes to your cereal, yoghurt, or porridge.
It has a lovely citrus flavour note and is long-lasting, almost like a lemon lozenge! The bees produced just 263 jars of it.
Limited edition: 1 of only 263 jars

The story of the beekeeper included
PROVENANCE
Stephen is a vet and looks after the large farm animals around him in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. At home, he added bees to the household’s menagerie back in 2015. It was a friend who got him started, giving him a swarm to look after. He now has around 11 hives dotted around his garden.
Every one of our honeys is from a small-scale British beekeeper who has simply spun their honey from the hive and run it through a sieve for us. We jar and label it – and bring it to you to enjoy. Nothing more complicated than that!
On each jar we write the beekeeper’s name, where they kept their bees, when the honey was taken off, and how many jars of that honey the bees produced. Totally pure, raw and trustworthy.
