Honey from bees kept in a back garden, Pickering, North Yorkshire, June.
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 June, when the bees would have been visiting hawthorn, blackthorn, apple blossoms, and dandelions.
This honey is pale with a grain to it, making it perfect for spreading on toast as it won’t run far! It has a lovely warm, rich, and long-lasting flavour, and only 124 jars were produced.
Limited edition: 1 of only 124 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.
